1960 Map of Farnham
USGS Topo · Published 1963About this map
The Lake Erie shoreline defines the western edge of this 1960 revision, where the Angola Lake Shore Addition and Lake Erie Beach sit just north of the expansive Evangola State Park. The interior landscape is heavily marked by the presence of the Cattaraugus Indian Reservation, which occupies a large swathe of land centered on the winding Cattaraugus Creek. This area illustrates a mid-century period of significant infrastructure development, most notably the path of the New York State Thruway (Erie Section) cutting through the rural townships of Brant and Hanover. Local life at this time is anchored by centers like Farnham, where St Anthonys Ch and Mt Zion Ch served the community, alongside numerous Gas Wells and Gravel Pits that point to the region's active natural resource extraction.
