1950 Map of Caledonia

About this map

The Genesee River snakes through this 1950s landscape, serving as a natural divider between the townships of Caledonia and Avon. A dense network of legacy railroads, including the Erie RR, Pennsylvania RR, and the Baltimore and Ohio, converge near the established village of Caledonia, highlighting its importance as a regional transportation hub. Smaller hamlets such as Mumford, Canawaugus, and Fowlerville are depicted alongside their respective parish and community burial grounds, including the Scottish Cem and Mumford Rural Cem. The terrain is marked by numerous family-named landmarks like Collings Hill and Baker Hill, while industrial footprints are visible at the Quarry and Cement Plant Pond. This survey preserves the mid-century layout of country roads and school districts, such as School No 9, before modern developments altered the rural character of the Genesee Valley.
