1953 Map of Addison

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The village of Addison serves as a northern anchor in this mid-century portrait of southern Steuben County, where the Canisteo River and Tuscarora Creek converge. A heavy rail presence defines the local economy and transport network of the era, with the Erie RR following the river valleys and the Baltimore and Ohio RR cutting south toward the New York-Pennsylvania Boundary. In the southern half of the quadrangle, the community of Lindley sits along the Tioga River, flanked by the New York Central RR. This landscape is particularly rich for genealogists, preserving the locations of numerous district schools such as School No 7, Orr Hill Sch, and Lumber City Sch. Significant family history markers are evident in well-placed burial grounds including the Jones-Erwin Cem and Fairview Cem, while landmarks like Liberty Pole suggest old local gathering points in the township of Tuscarora.
