About this map

Conesus Lake defines the western landscape of this mid-century survey, its eastern shoreline crowded with seasonal and permanent settlements from Lakeville and Pebble Beach down to Sunny Shores. The terrain is characterized by a series of drumlins and glacial hills like Jakman Hill and Henderson Hill, which dictated the winding paths of the local road network and the placement of orchards and farms.

Transport and industry are centered on the village of Livonia, where the Erie RR and Lehigh Valley RR intersect near Livonia Sta. The map provides significant genealogical detail through its numerous burial grounds, including the Oak Ridge Cem and Alger Cem, and small religious landmarks such as St Judes Chapel. The presence of a Sewage Disposal plant and several named coves like Wadsworth Cove illustrate the development of the lakefront into a structured residential and recreational corridor.
