1902 Map of Genoa

USGS Topo · Published 1931

About this map

Cayuga Lake dominates this landscape, serving as a primary transportation artery through a busy late nineteenth-century agricultural corridor. The map details a sophisticated transit network where the Steamboat Route and a Ferry crossing near Kidders intersect with the terrestrial reach of the Lehigh Valley Railroad (Ithaca Branch). On the western shore, settlements like Interlaken and Trumansburg are established rail stops, while the eastern heights are punctuated by hamlets such as Ledyard, King Ferry, and Genoa. Along the northern shore, Wells College overlooks the water at Aurora. The topography is defined by the deep incisions of watercourses into the plateau, most notably at the spectacular Taughannic Falls, which drops toward the lake near Frontenac Pt. Numerous smaller landings and points, including Willets, Atwaters, and Myers Pt., illustrate the era's reliance on both rail and water for local commerce.
