1944 Map of Farnham
USGS Topo · Published 1944About this map
Cattaraugus Indian Reservation and the meandering path of Cattaraugus Creek define the southern landscape of this 1944 Army Corps of Engineers survey. The region is shaped by heavy infrastructure, where the New York Central and Nickel Plate and Pennsylvania railroads converge near Farnham, facilitating travel and commerce between Buffalo and the west. Along the shoreline, Lake Erie Beach and the Angola Lake Shore Addition reflect the mid-century development of residential and recreational communities south of Farnham Pt. Further inland, the map captures the rural agricultural layout of Brant and Fenton, where a grid of named routes like Mile Strip Road and Southwestern Blvd connect scattered farmsteads and small hamlets. The boundary between Erie Chautauqua is clearly marked as the creek flows toward the lake at Irving.
