1902 Map of Genoa

USGS Topo · Published 1909

About this map

Cayuga Lake dominates the center of this 1902 survey, serving as a primary transportation corridor with a marked Steamboat Route and various Ferry crossings connecting the eastern and western shores. The landscape reflects a turn-of-the-century agricultural and educational hub, anchored by Wells College in the northwest. Industrial and transit connectivity is evident through the Lehigh Valley Railroad, which operates both an Ithaca Branch and an Auburn Branch to move goods and passengers through the Finger Lakes region. Small hamlets like King Ferry, Poplar Ridge, and Genoa dot the uplands above the deep ravines of Salmon Creek. The map also captures the dramatic topography of Taughannic Falls near the southern edge, highlighting the area's natural landmarks before the era of modern highway development.
