1943 Map of Dundee
USGS Topo · Published 1943About this map
The village of Dundee and the steep western shoreline of Seneca Lake define this 1943 War Department survey of the Finger Lakes region. Situated in the heart of wine country, the landscape is marked by numerous vineyards and the deeply incised ravines of Big Stream, Plum Creek, and Indian Run as they descend toward the lake. This edition reveals a mature transportation and social network during the early 1940s, including the dual presence of the Pennsylvania Railroad and the New York Central Railroad running parallel north-to-south. Settlement is concentrated in farming hamlets such as Himrod, Starkey, and Lakemont, the latter of which is anchored by the Lakemont Academy. The map also documents the many small lakeside landings like Lamoreaux Landing and Valois, reflecting the historic dependence on both rail and water for moving the region's agricultural bounty.
