1943 Map of Bristol Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Gannett Hill and the dramatic drop known as The Jumpoff overlook the glacial valleys of Ontario County in the early 1940s. This survey records a landscape of steep ravines and ridges where rural life was organized around small district schools, such as School No 8 and School No 2. Settlement is clustered in hamlets like South Bristol and Bristol Springs, or at road junctions like Boswell Corners. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the Lehigh Valley railroad cuts through the valley floor near Naples, supporting the local economy. Genealogists can locate family sites through features like Parmeley Cem and Hunt Hollow Cem, while the presence of Gas Wells near the valley floor indicates the era's emerging natural resource extraction alongside traditional farming.
