1942 Map of Livonia

About this map

Conesus Lake dominates the western landscape of this Livingston County region, its eastern shore punctuated by distinctive points such as Eagle Point, McPherson Point, and Old Orchard Point. In the early 1940s, the village of Livonia served as a central hub, where the Erie Railroad intersected with local routes like Penimite Road. The map reveals a deeply settled agricultural and lakeside community, indicated by numerous country schools like School No 2 and School No 5, and several small cemeteries including Mt Pleasant Cem and Oak Ridge Cem. To the north, the junction of the Lehigh Valley Railroad near Conesus Lake Junc illustrates the era's rail-dependent economy. Further south, lakeside life is marked by places like Cedarcrest and the Atwater Memorial Ch, showing the early 20th-century development of the waterfront.
