1951 Map of Leicester

About this map

Leicester and the surrounding Genesee Valley countryside appear in this mid-century topographic record, showing a landscape defined by agriculture and extraction. Near Greigsville, an Inactive Salt Mine stands alongside the Delaware Lackawanna and Western RR and the Genesee and Wyoming RR, marking the region's industrial heritage. The map is particularly rich in family-named crossroads like Allens Corners, Roots Corners, and Simmons Corners, reflecting a settled rural social structure that centered around local landmarks such as Covington Ch and the York Central Sch.
