1952 Map of Byron

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

Byron and its surrounding agricultural landscape in Genesee County are defined by a sophisticated mid-century transportation network where the New York Central Railroad and Lehigh Valley Railroad intersect the rural grid. This 1952 edition showcases the importance of local rail junctions at settlements like South Byron and Morganville. The map captures a transition in navigation and land use, featuring a prominent Airway Beacon near West Bergen alongside well-established local landmarks such as Lidke Hill and Pumpkin Hill. To the northeast, the Bergen Swamp Wildlife Sanctuary stands out as a significant preserved natural feature, with Black Creek and Robins Brook threading through the lowlands. For the genealogist, the map is particularly useful for locating numerous smaller burial grounds, including Sodom Cem, Walkers Cem, and Randall Cem, often found at remote intersections like Buckley Road and North Bergen Road.
