1902 Map of Genoa

About this map

Wells College sits at the northern edge of this survey, overlooking the deep waters of Cayuga Lake as it stretches south toward the Finger Lakes' interior. The landscape reflects a turn-of-the-century agricultural and transit corridor, where the lake serves as a primary artery for movement, marked clearly by a Ferry crossing and a defined Steamboat Route. Along the eastern shore, the Lehigh Valley Railroad hugs the steep bluffs, connecting lakeside landings like Atwaters and Kidders to the upland farming communities.
