1907 Map of Winfield

About this map

The upper Unadilla River and its varied tributaries define this early twentieth-century landscape at the junction of Herkimer, Otsego, Madison, and Oneida counties. Settlement patterns are closely tied to the Delaware Lackawanna and Western R R, which services several rail-side communities including Cedarville Sta and Millers Mills Sta. In the southeast, the expanse of Canadarago Lake and its solitary Deowongo Island sit near the village of Richfield. The map reveals a dense network of small hamlets and post offices, from the manufacturing center of Clayville in the north to the family-named crossroads of Goodiers Corners and Getman Corners. Industry is evidenced by the numerous mills clustered around Millers Mills and the diverse agricultural landscape surrounding West Winfield, showcasing the region's transition from forest to a developed rural economy during this era.
