1950 Map of Clifton

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Oatka Creek and Black Creek wind through this Monroe County landscape, defining the rural character of southwestern New York at mid-century. The map captures a transition as established hamlets like Clifton and Garbutt sit alongside growing academic and transportation hubs. Roberts Wesleyan College is prominent in the north, while the heavy rail infrastructure of the New York Central, West Shore, and Baltimore and Ohio railroads crisscrosses the terrain, meeting at strategic points like Chili Junction. Local genealogy is well-represented through numerous burial grounds, including the Quaker Cem and Fellows Cem. Distinctive landmarks such as the Airway Beacon and Blue Pond offer a detailed look at the 1950s geography of the Chili and Wheatland districts before later suburban expansion.
