1942 Map of Dansville
USGS Topo · Published 1942About this map
Dansville sits at the nexus of several vital transportation corridors during the early 1940s, where the Delaware Lackawanna and Western RR and the Erie RR converge near the broad valley of Canaseraga Creek. The landscape transitions from the developed industrial and residential center of Dansville to the steep, wooded gullies of the surrounding highlands, including the prominent Stony Brook State Park and the deep incision of Pokamoonshine Hollow. This wartime survey reveals a dense network of local institutions, from country schoolhouses like School No 9 to rural spiritual centers such as Sparta Center Ch and Pleasant Valley Ch. Genealogists will find particular value in the numerous burial grounds identified, including Green Mount Cem, South Sparta Cem, and the remote Dutch Cem north of Reed Corners.
