1953 Map of Woodhull

About this map

Woodhull serves as a primary hub for this Southern Tier landscape, situated along the Liberty Highway where Tuscarora Creek flows east. The area in the early 1950s was defined by a dense network of local school districts, many of which are identified here by name, including Red Sch, Sly Sch, Pulteney Hill Sch, and Norway Ridge Sch. These small, localized educational centers, along with the Chenango Ch and various family-named landmarks like Earl Beatty Hill, reflect a well-established rural social structure just north of the New York Pennsylvania Boundary. The terrain transitions from the broader valley of the South Branch Tuscarora Creek to the high ridges of Rathbone and Norway Ridge, where the Norway Ridge Cem marks generations of local residents. This survey preserves the exact placement of homesteads and small settlements such as Five Corners, Chenango, and Owlville before modern consolidation altered the rural fabric.
