1942 Map of Canandaigua

About this map

The city of Canandaigua serves as the focal point of this 1942 survey, showing the community just as the United States Veterans Administration Hospital and the lakefront Kershaw Park anchored the local landscape. The surrounding Ontario County countryside is marked by a network of rural hamlets and family-named intersections such as Ingleside Corners, Hathaway Corners, and McMillen Corners. This period reflects the lingering importance of the Lehigh Valley railroad and the Canandaigua Outlet in shaping the region's transport and drainage. Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks including numerous district schools like School No 6 and School No 11, alongside smaller burying grounds like Sand Hill Cem and Tilton Cem that record the early settlement patterns of Victor and Farmington.
