1951 Map of Kendall

About this map

The Erie Canal anchors the southern landscape of this mid-century Orleans County study, where the waterway passes through Hulberton and Hindsburg. This industrial corridor contrasts with the rural orchard and farm lands to the north, which are bounded by the Lake Ontario shoreline at Lomond Shore and Oak Orchard Beach. The settlement pattern follows a distinct grid, with the village of Kendall serving as a central hub, connected by the New York Central railroad. Local genealogy is well-represented through a dense network of numbered schoolhouses, such as School No 11 and School No 12, along with several historic burial grounds including Greenwood Cem and Hatch Cem. The drainage of the area is defined by the winding paths of Sandy Creek and Bald Eagle Creek, which move through the flat terrain toward the lake, illustrating the traditional relationship between the region's fertile plains and its natural water outlets.
