1950 Map of Batavia North

About this map

Batavia serves as the focal point for this mid-century survey of Genesee County, showing a concentration of institutional and civic landmarks including the State School for the Blind, the Veterans Hospital, and McArthur Stadium. The landscape transitions from the urbanized streets of Batavia Downs to the sprawling agricultural muckland to the north. Drainage patterns are dominated by Tonawanda Creek in the south and the significant expanse of the Oak Orchard Swamp along the northern border, where Bulgary Ridge rises above the low-lying terrain.
