1950 Map of Burdett

About this map

Seneca Lake defines the western edge of this landscape, where the dramatic descent of the terrain creates significant water features like Hector Falls and Excelsior Glen. The mid-century rural character of Schuyler County is evident in the network of family-named roads, such as Mathews Road and Bronson Hill Road, which connect established farming hamlets. The Lehigh Valley railroad tracks follow the lake's eastern contour, serving as a vital artery for the region's economy near the northern reaches of Watkins Glen.
