1953 Map of Lyons

About this map

The Erie Canal and Clyde River dominate this mid-century Wayne County landscape, tracing a shared path through the glacial drumlins that define the region's topography. The village of Lyons serves as a significant hub, marked by a dense concentration of civic infrastructure including Lyons Park, the Sewage Disposal plant, and the intersection of the New York Central railroad lines. To the east, the village of Clyde anchors the map, while smaller settlements like Lock Berlin, Alloway, and Pilgrimport illustrate the area's rural development.
