1944 Map of Geneseo

USGS Topo · Published 1944

About this map

The Genesee River snakes in tight, dramatic oxbows across this mid-century landscape, dominating the valley floor between Geneseo and York Center. This 1944 War Department survey highlights the institutional and educational heart of the region at the State Normal School and the nearby Temple Hill Cem. The era's transportation network is clearly defined by the intersection of several major rail lines, including the Erie RR, Pennsylvania RR, and the G & W RR, which served the local industry and smaller hamlets like Piffard and Cuylerville. While the western portion of the sheet is defined by the alluvial flats of the river, the eastern section rises toward South Avon, dotted with numbered rural schoolhouses such as School No 1 and School No 9, reflecting the established district-school system of Livingston County during the wartime period.
