1942 Map of Dundee

About this map

Seneca Lake dominates the eastern half of this landscape, its steep western shore carved by numerous drainages like Indian Run and Plum Creek. During this wartime era, the region maintained a strong agrarian and institutional character, anchored by the village of Dundee and the notable Lakemont Academy further east. The map captures a vital transportation corridor where the Pennsylvania RR and New York Central RR run nearly parallel through Himrod, reflecting the importance of rail transit for both freight and passengers in the Finger Lakes region. Rural life is well-documented through numerous district schoolhouses, including School No 12 and School No 5, alongside several established burying grounds such as Hillside Cem and Grove Mount Cem. Small settlements like Starkey and Randall Crossing serve as points of interest for those tracing family roots in Yates and Seneca counties.
