1952 Map of Genoa

About this map

Genoa serves as the primary hub of this landscape at the intersection of the New York Central railroad and numerous arterial roads like the Genoa-Clay Center Road. The territory is defined by its agricultural grid and the slow movement of the Packer Creek and Toussaint Creek drainage systems. Near Clay Center, a large Quarry operation and the Clay Center Sch indicate a concentrated pocket of industrial and civic life. The transit network is particularly dense here, featuring the New York Chicago and St Louis line cutting diagonally through smaller hamlets such as Martin and Elliston. Notable landmarks for local historians include the Airway Beacon in the southern reaches and the Williston Cem, which anchors the northwestern settlement of Williston.
