1953 Map of Geneva South

About this map

Seneca Lake dominates this mid-century topographic perspective, revealing the deep-water basin and its developed shoreline at the southern edge of Geneva. The city's academic and social infrastructure is well-defined by the Colleges of the Seneca and the Geneva Country Club, while a Lighthouse stands as a navigational sentinel on the water. Along the eastern shore, the transition from recreation at Pastime Park and Seneca Lake State Park to the strictly defined Seneca Army Depot military reservation illustrates the strategic and public utility of the landscape during the Cold War era.
