1950 Map of Caledonia

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Caledonia and Avon serve as the primary hubs in this mid-century portrait of the Genesee Valley, where a dense network of five major railroads once converged. The Baltimore and Ohio, Lehigh Valley, New York Central, Erie RR, and Pennsylvania lines crisscross the landscape, illustrating the region's importance as a transportation corridor between major New York centers. Along the winding Genesee River, smaller settlements like Canawaugus, Fowlerville, and Ashantee remain distinct, often situated near significant water features like Avon Springs Downs and Horseshoe Pond. The map reveals a deeply rooted community structure, preserved through numerous local landmarks including Mumford Rural Cemetery, St Columbus Cemetery, and the Scottish Cemetery. From the industrial activity at the Quarry near Mumford to the educational centers like the High School in Caledonia, the survey captures the balance of agriculture, industry, and early suburban growth along the Oatka Creek drainage.
