About this map

Bath serves as the central hub of this 1908 survey, situated at the confluence of several vital rail lines and the Cohocton River. The landscape is a network of ridges and deep hollows, characterized by named hills like Hickory Hill and Brooks Hill that divide the various creek valleys. Prominent institutional landmarks near the village include the State Soldiers and Sailors Home, the County House, and the State Fish Hatchery near Pleasant Valley.

Rural life at the turn of the century is deeply detailed through numerous country schools and churches, such as Oregon School and Windfall Church. The transportation network is remarkably dense, featuring four distinct railroads—including the Kanona and Prattsburg RR and the Erie RR—which facilitated the movement of goods and people between smaller settlements like Avoca, Kanona, and Wallace. Physical features such as Lake Salubria and Loucks Pond dot the terrain, providing a look at the natural landscape before modern development.
