About this map

West Winfield and Bridgewater anchor this early twentieth-century landscape where the industrial and agricultural sectors meet along the Unadilla River. The map documents a sophisticated transit network, featuring the Delaware Lackawanna and Western RR and the Unadilla Valley RR, which served the various hamlets and mills of the region. To the east, the shoreline of Canadarago Lake and the prominent Deowongo Island mark the boundary of the town of Richfield.

Numerous small crossroads settlements like Chepachet, Millers Mills, and Columbia Center are shown in high detail, providing a clear record of rural New York before modern highway expansion. The presence of the Oneonta & Cooperstown Electric RR near the southern edge reflects the short-lived era of interurban electric rail that once connected these dairy-farming communities. Topographical landmarks such as Fork Mtn and the steep ravines of The Gulf characterize the local terrain.
