1902 Map of Geneva

About this map

Seneca Lake and Cayuga Lake anchor this 1902 survey, which illustrates the complex transportation networks of the Finger Lakes region at the turn of the century. The landscape is dominated by the sprawling Montezuma Marsh in the northeast, through which the Clyde River and the Barge canal system navigate toward Black Lake. The industrial and commercial hubs of Geneva, Waterloo, and Seneca Falls are depicted in detail, showing their dense street grids and proximity to the Seneca River and Seneca Canal.
