1906 Map of Angelica

About this map

The Genesee River carves a deep valley through the heart of western New York, serving as the primary corridor for both agriculture and industry at the turn of the century. Along its banks, established villages like Belfast and Fillmore grew around the river's power and the transportation routes that followed its course. This 1906 survey captures the era when multiple rail lines competed for dominance in the region, including the Pennsylvania R R and the Rochester Division, which funneled timber and goods from the surrounding hills.
