About this map

Keuka Lake dominates this 1942 landscape, its deep waters flanked by the steep, vineyard-draped hills of the Finger Lakes region. At the northern end of the west branch, the campus of Keuka College stands as a primary cultural landmark within Keuka Park. The map reveals a post-Depression rural economy still anchored by small school districts and crossroads hamlets like Second Milo and Barrington.

Evidence of the area's intricate topography is found in the deeply carved ravines of Eggleston Glen and the prominent rise of Bluff Point. These natural features, combined with named points such as Sunset Point and Hewitt Point, illustrate how the lake's shoreline dictated settlement patterns and road networks. The survey also captures several localized institutions, including the Keuka Lake Ch and the Barrington Cem, which provide specific points of interest for those researching the genealogy and local history of Yates and Steuben Counties.
