1955 Map of Jordan

About this map

The Seneca River winds through the northern reaches of this mid-century landscape, framing Cross Lake and its distinctive features like Big Island and Pembertons Point. This survey captures a moment of significant infrastructure, where the modern New York State Thruway cuts through the center of the quadrangle, paralleling the historic path of the Erie Canal and the New York Central Railroad. The transportation corridor links established village centers such as Jordan and Elbridge with smaller locales like Memphis and Jacks Reef.
