1953 Map of Geneva North

About this map

Canandaigua Outlet and the Seneca and Cayuga Canal define the industrial and transit corridor between Ontario and Seneca counties during the mid-20th century. The northern edge of Geneva and the neighboring community of Border City are mapped alongside a series of rural hamlets including West Junius, Dublin, and Packwood Corners. Local heritage is preserved in the locations of the Newton Cem, Hubbard Cem, and Vandemark Cem, providing essential details for genealogists studying the families of the Junius and Waterloo townships. The landscape is marked by the presence of Junius Ponds and the rising elevation of Whiskey Hill, while the evolving transportation network is evidenced by the Conrail lines and the New York State Thruway cutting across the north. These features illustrate a transition from a canal-and-rail economy to the modern highway era.
