About this map

Cayuga Lake dominates this mid-century survey, its deep waters flanked by the steep ravines and points of the Finger Lakes region. Along the eastern shore, industrial and transit hubs like Portland Pt and Lansing Sta highlight the era's reliance on the Lehigh Valley railroad for moving goods. A notable local industry is marked by the Salt Works near Myers, while the landscape is dotted with several district schools, from School No 7 to School No 15, serving the rural populations of Lansing and Ulysses townships.

The western shore is defined by the dramatic topography of Taughannock Falls, where the Taughannock Falls State Park Bdy marks one of the region's most prominent natural features. Scattered settlements such as Ludlowville and South Lansing are connected by a network of named country roads, including Lake Ridge Road and Algerine Road. Historic burial grounds like German Cem and Pine Grove Cem offer genealogical touchpoints for families rooted in these lakeside communities.
