1950 Map of Burdett

About this map

Seneca Lake defines the western edge of this mid-century landscape, where the terrain rises sharply from the shoreline toward Satterly Hill and Burnt Hill. The village of Burdett sits at the heart of the district, situated where Burdett Creek cuts through the high ground. The map captures a transition in regional transportation, showing the established tracks of the Lehigh Valley and Pennsylvania railroads alongside a maturing network of local roads like Mathews Road and Mecklenburg Road.
