Broad St is one of the two primary streets forming the intersection around which the Village of Morris developed. It was incorporated into the proposed route of the Butternuts and Sherburne Turnpike running from Oneonta to New Berlin on Unadilla River, which was chartered by the state in 1 836. North of Main St, it is designated CR 1 3; south of Main St, it is NY 23.

To help you understand where the airstrip was located I have an aerial photograph that shows Patrick Hill from Pegg Rd. on the left to Potato Farm Rd. on the right. Click on link below for that view
