1957 Map of Canastota

About this map

The village of Canastota sits at the nexus of several generations of New York transportation history, bordered by the New York State Thruway and the Conrail lines. To the south, the landscape rises toward the limestone-rich escarpments of Lincoln and Fenner, where Perryville Falls and Sulphur Springs mark the rugged transition from the low-lying mucklands of the north to the upland hills. The map highlights the enduring footprint of the Old Erie Canal, which skirts the base of Quality Hill and remains a dominant landmark alongside the ancient Genesee Turnpike.
