1950 Map of Batavia North

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Batavia serves as the focal point for this mid-century look at Genesee County, showing a hub of institutional and recreational growth just as the post-war era transformed the landscape. Significant landmarks include the State School For the Blind and the Veterans Hospital, alongside community centers like McArthur Stadium and the Batavia Downs racetrack. To the north, the terrain transitions into the fertile agricultural mucklands and wetlands that define the region, such as Oak Orchard Swamp and Galloway Swamp. Small rural hamlets like Elba and East Oakfield are connected by a grid of farm roads and the tracks of the New York Central Railroad. The presence of the Batavia Airport and local schools like the Robert Morris School reflects the development of civil infrastructure in the 1950s. This survey records the distinct spatial organization of the area before modern interstate construction altered the traditional flow between these northern Genesee towns.
