1951 Map of Attica

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

Attica sits at a critical junction of rail and river in Wyoming County, where the Erie RR and the Arcade and Attica RR meet along the banks of Tonawanda Creek. This 1949 survey captures the village's footprint just years after the end of World War II, showing its central sewage disposal and the imposing structure of the Attica State Prison. Outside the village center, the landscape is defined by the steep terrain of Poland Hill and Cobble Hill, separated by the Johnson Valley. Small rural hamlets and agricultural junctions like Varysburg, East Bennington, and Dutch Flats remain connected by a network of numbered district schools, including School No 16 and School No 8. Water management is prominent through the Akron Reservoir and Attica Reservoir, reflecting the industrial and municipal needs of the mid-century Genesee and Wyoming County borderlands.
