About this map

Taughannock Falls State Park dominates the western shore of Cayuga Lake in this mid-century survey, showcasing the dramatic drop of Taughannock Falls and the Taughannock Branch as it cuts toward the water. Across the lake, the industrial footprint of the Salt Works at Myers and the complex around Portland Pt highlight the economic importance of the lakeshore. The landscape is a network of rural school districts, including School No 7 and School No 22, which served the farming communities of Lansingville and Dublin Corners. The Lehigh Valley railroad traces the western lake edge, providing a vital transportation link for the era. Significant local landmarks such as Holden church and the German Cem offer valuable data points for genealogists tracking family histories in the townships of Genoa Lansing and Ulysses.
