1950 Map of Corfu

About this map

Corfu and the surrounding agricultural landscapes of Genesee and Erie Counties are defined by a complex network of mid-century rail infrastructure. Four major lines, including the New York Central and the Lehigh Valley, slice across the terrain, supporting local stations like Corfu Sta and smaller junctions like Crittenden. The map documents a period when these railroads remained the primary arteries for commerce between small settlements such as Pembroke and Darien Center.
