1940 Map of Ida

About this map

Monroe County farmland and small rural hubs are captured here just before the mid-century, as surveyed by R. E. Altenhofen. The settlement of Ida serves as a central point, situated along the New York Central railroad line that cuts diagonally through the townships. The map reveals an intricate network of local education and faith, with numerous small schoolhouses like Bridge Sch, King Sch, and Maple Grove Sch dotting the landscape to serve the surrounding farmsteads.
