1953 Map of Lyons

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Erie Canal waters dominate the central corridor of this Wayne County landscape, where the Clyde River meanders in tight oxbows alongside the industrial straight-lines of the New York Central railroad. This 1950s survey captures the region during a period of established agricultural and transit-oriented settlement, anchored by the village of Lyons and the neighboring community of Clyde. The map reveals a high density of rural infrastructure, from the Clyde-Lyons Airport and an Airway Beacon to numerous historic burial grounds like Elmwood Cem and Rural Cem. The presence of Clintons Ditch near Lock Berlin provides a direct link to the early engineering history of the New York canal system. Further south, the junction of the Canandiagua Outlet and smaller tributaries like Dublin Brook and Melvin Brook define the low-lying terrain of Galen and Junius.
