1949 Map of Attica

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Tonawanda Creek carves a deep valley through this corner of New York, defining the layout of the village of Attica and the industrial and institutional developments along the Conrail corridor. The 1949 topography, updated with late 1970s cultural details, highlights the prominent footprint of Attica State Prison and the nearby County Home to the south. The landscape is characterized by a high density of rural school districts, including School No 16, School No 15, and School No 10, indicating a well-distributed agrarian population across the townships of Bennington and Sheldon. The map documents the water management infrastructure of the era, from the Akron Reservoir in the northwest to the Attica Reservoir in the east, which sustained these growing settlements and their respective local economies.
