1951 Map of Batavia North

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

The industrial and agricultural landscape of Genesee County unfolds across this mid-century survey, centered on the northern expansion of Batavia and the village of Elba. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the city's civic and medical infrastructure, including the State School For the Blind, Veterans Hospital, and Genesee Memorial Hospital. North of the city, the terrain transitions into the fertile but wet mucklands of the Oak Orchard Swamp and Batavia Swamp, separated by the prominent elevation of Bulgary Ridge. The New York Central railroad cuts through this rural landscape, connecting small outposts like East Oakfield, Langton Corners, and Five Corners. Local history and genealogy interest is high throughout, with several burial grounds such as Maplewood Cem and Gardner Cem recorded alongside the winding course of Tonawanda Creek.
