A Town's Layout: Groton in 1866
Groton New York 1866 Map Print
The 1866 map of Groton, New York presents the settlement in sage wash across warm cream, each street lettered with clarity: Main, Church, William, Cortland, Cayuga, Spring, Elm, South, Clark, Sikes, and Barrows. It is a document of specificity, naming not just thoroughfares but the Town Hall, the Academy, the Groton Rural Cemetery, and an inlet.
The map includes building footprints and lot owners' names. A numbered key points to stores, a hotel, and the 1st National Bank. The title block reads simply: Groton. Black lettering renders every detail legible against that faded sage background.
