1942 Map of Ludlowville

About this map

Cayuga Lake dominates the center of this landscape, its steep eastern and western shores dotted with points like Taughannock Pt and Myers Pt. In the early 1940s, the area's geography was defined by deep gorges and industrial activity, most notably the Salt Works located near the mouth of Salmon Creek. This era of the Finger Lakes region shows a transition from local agricultural centers to industrial lakeside operations, with the Lehigh Valley railroad tracing the western shore and providing a vital link for the rural settlements.
