1904 Map of Caledonia

USGS Topo · Published 1909

About this map

The Genesee River snakes through this 1902 survey of western New York, defining the agricultural and industrial landscape of Livingston and Genesee Counties. This era represents the peak of rural rail density, as lines like the Buffalo Rochester and Pittsburg R.R. and the Delaware Lackawanna and Western crisscross the terrain. The presence of Retsof highlights the region's importance in salt mining, while the village of Geneseo sits prominently on the eastern bluff above the river's winding oxbows. Smaller hamlets and post offices such as Wadsworth P.O. S. Greigsville and Moscow P.O. Leicester reflect the early 20th-century postal network before rural consolidation. The map also captures the distinct glacial topography of the area, with Oatka Creek carving through the northern portion near Mumford and Caledonia.
