1951 Map of Leicester

About this map

Leicester and the salt mining landscapes of Livingston County define this mid-century survey, revealing a region where heavy industry and rural crossroads overlap. The Genesee And Wyoming railroad and the Lackawanna And Western service the industrial hub at Retsof, where a Salt Mine (Inactive) stands near Greigsville. This economic backbone is balanced by a dense network of hamlets and family-named landmarks, such as Phelps Corners, Walkers Corners, and Tryons Corners, which speak to the area's agricultural roots.
