1942 Map of Dundee

About this map

The western shores of Seneca Lake are defined by a complex transportation network and established agricultural settlements in this 1942 survey. The village of Dundee serves as a regional hub, situated along Big Stream and surrounded by smaller communities like Himrod, Starkey, and Lakemont. The landscape is heavily marked by the competing routes of the Pennsylvania Central, New York Central, and Pennsylvania railroads, which facilitated the movement of goods and people through the Finger Lakes region. Along the shoreline, numerous named points such as Castle Pt and Plum Pt descend toward the water, while upland areas feature numerous country schools, including School No 9 and School No 5, and the campus of Lakemont Academy. Genealogists can find localized detail in burial grounds like Hillside Cem and Lakemont Cem, which anchor these rural townships.
