About this map

Conesus Lake serves as the central anchor for this post-war landscape, its eastern and western shores lined with seasonal and year-round developments. The settlement of Livonia stands as the primary hub, connected by the Erie RR and Lehigh Valley RR systems that once moved local goods and passengers through the Finger Lakes region. Along the waterfront, specific landings and points such as Steggs Landing, Sacketts Harbor, and Eagle Point suggest a long-standing recreation and maritime culture.

Farming and family lineage are visible in the numerous cemeteries scattered across the hills, including Mt Pleasant Cem and Oak Ridge Cem. The map provides a detailed look at the road network of the era, from Big Tree Road to Cadyville Road, reflecting the transition from traditional rail dependence to automobile transit. Notable religious landmarks like St Judes Chapel and St Margarets Chapel appear near the shoreline, serving the growing lakeside communities.
