About this map

Keuka College sits prominently at the northern edge of this 1942 survey, marking a centered academic and community hub on the eastern shores of Keuka Lake. The map details a period of established lakeside settlement and upland farming across the townships of Jerusalem, Milo, and Barrington. Numerous small schoolhouses, such as School No 8 and School No 4, are scattered through the rural sections, indicating the decentralized educational structure of the mid-20th century Finger Lakes region.

The topography is defined by the steep slopes leading down to the water, punctuated by prominent landmarks like Bluff Point and Eggleston Point. Moving inland, the landscape rises toward Barrington Hill, where agricultural plateaus are bisected by deep ravines like Eggleston Glen and Chub Hollow. Small hamlets such as Willow Grove and Thayer Corners serve as local navigation points within a network of country roads connecting the various family farms and the Barrington Cem.
