1950 Map of Corfu

About this map

Corfu and the surrounding townships of Pembroke, Newstead, Alden, and Darien sit at a major mid-century transportation nexus along the Erie and Genesee County line. The landscape is defined by a dense network of major railroads, including the New York Central, the Lehigh Valley, the Delaware Lackawanna and Western, and the Erie RR, which converge near settlements like Crittenden and Alden Station. These rails parallel historic thoroughfares such as Broadway and Main Street, which pass through early crossroads like Brick House Corners.
