1944 Map of Leicester

USGS Topo · Published 1944

About this map

Delaware Lackawanna and Western Railroad tracks and the Genesee and Wyoming Railroad dominate the landscape of the Genesee Valley during the mid-1940s. The map illustrates a dense network of industrial and agricultural transportation through Leicester, York, and Retsof, where the infrastructure of the salt mining region is clearly defined. Rural life is anchored by small landmarks such as School No 7 and the Olivet Cem, while the winding course of Beards Creek cuts through the western terrain near Cloverdale. The intersection of multiple rail systems, including the Pennsylvania Railroad and the Hudson System, highlights the area's importance as a transit corridor for New York’s southern tier and Genesee Valley products just before the post-war era transformed regional logistics.
