1972 Map of Lambertville West

About this map

The low-lying agricultural landscape of Whiteford and Summerfield townships is defined by an extensive drainage network, including the Burton and White Drain and Summerfield and Ida Drain, which supported the region's farming heritage. In the early 1970s, the area around Lambertville and Whiteford Center remained largely rural, anchored by local institutions like the Whiteford Agricultural High Sch and St Anthony Ch. The southern portion of the map reveals industrial and transport infrastructure, from the Penn Central rail line near Ottawa Lake to a notable Stone Quarry and numerous pipelines cutting across the terrain.
