1984 Map of Corfu

About this map

Murder Creek winds through a landscape defined by the intersection of traditional agriculture and mid-century transportation infrastructure. This 1980s-era topographical study highlights the path of the New York State Thruway as it cuts across the northern reaches of Pembroke and Corfu, contrasting with the established Conrail line and the historic Corfu Station. The region's leisure and conservation efforts are evident in the expansive Darien Lakes State Park and the adjacent Darien Lakes Fun Country, indicating the area's transition into a recreational hub for Western New York. Local genealogists will find value in the precise locations of community landmarks such as Hillside Cem, Maple Hill Cem, and Our Lady of Good Counsel Sch, while industrial features like the Quarry and various gas wells speak to the rural economy's reliance on natural resources during this period.
