1946 Map of Canastota

About this map

Canastota serves as a major hub of industry and transport in this mid-century survey, where the heavy infrastructure of the New York Central (4 Tracks) rail line and the Old Erie (Abandoned) Canal converge. The landscape reflects a complex layering of New York's transit history, showing the older canal bed alongside the modern Barge Canal and the West Shore Canal. To the south, the terrain rises toward Lillies Pinnacle and Oak Hill, where rural life is anchored by local institutions like Oak Hill Sch and the settlement of Perryville.
