1902 Map of Genoa

About this map

Cayuga Lake dominates this Finger Lakes landscape, serving as a primary corridor for travel and trade at the turn of the century. The map traces the long-established Steamboat Route bisecting the water, connecting shoreside points like Kidders and Frontenac Pt. with inland agricultural hubs. On the western ridge, the Lehigh Valley Railroad runs through the busy village of Trumansburg and north toward Interlaken, while the eastern side is defined by the steep ravines of Salmon Creek and Paine Creek.
