1934 Map of Hilton

About this map

The agricultural landscape of northern Monroe County meets the shore of Lake Ontario in this pre-war survey. The village of Hilton serves as the inland anchor, situated at the junction of the New York Central Railroad and several prominent local arteries. The surrounding countryside is defined by a dense network of district schools and small hamlets, including Collamer and Parma Center. Along the lakefront, a series of seasonal and permanent settlements such as Shore Acres, Wautoma Beach, and Lighthouse Beach illustrate the early 20th-century development of the waterfront.
