1951 Map of Clifton Springs

About this map

Hill Cumorah stands prominently in the northern landscape of this Ontario County region, overlooking a complex network of waterways and rail lines. The Canandaigua Outlet meanders through the centers of Manchester and Shortsville, providing the historical backbone for local development. Further east, the village of Clifton Springs is anchored by the large Sanitarium and a concentration of civic life along Central Avenue. The era’s reliance on rail transport is evident where the New York Central and Lehigh Valley tracks intersect this terrain, connecting these mill towns to the broader Finger Lakes economy.
