1950 Map of Albion
USGS Topo · Published 1965About this map
The Erie Canal anchors the northern portion of this Orleans County landscape, passing directly through the heart of Albion. In this mid-century survey, the village serves as a centralized hub of infrastructure and institution, featuring the New York Central railroad and the State Training School for Girls. To the south, the terrain transitions into the agricultural township of Barre, marked by several distinct crossroads settlements and family-named landmarks. The presence of Mt Albion Cem, St Josephs Cemetery, and the Allis Cem provides significant genealogical value for those tracing local lineages. Further south, the map details the expansive Oak Orchard Swamp and its associated Spoil Banks, revealing the engineering and drainage patterns required to manage the wetlands near the boundary of Orleans and Genesee counties.
