1938 Map of Genoa

About this map

Genoa serves as a primary hub in this late 1930s landscape, where the convergence of the New York Central and Lake Shore Electric railroads defines the local commerce and transport. The terrain is structured by a grid of rural routes like Williston Road and Lentz Road, connecting small agricultural settlements including Clay Center, Martin, and Elliston. Waterways such as Turtle Creek and Toussaint Creek wind through the township boundaries of Allen and Benton, while an Airway Beacon near the southern edge marks the era's advancing aviation infrastructure.
