1953 Map of Lyons

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The industrial and transport corridors of Wayne County are defined here by the winding Clyde River and the parallel path of the Erie Canal. Centered on Lyons, the map illustrates a landscape shaped by water and rail, where the Conrail lines intersect with historic water routes. The village of Clyde anchors the eastern edge, while smaller settlements like Lock Berlin and Fergusons Corners dot the agricultural uplands. Of particular interest to genealogists are the numerous burial grounds, including Elmwood Cem, St Johns Cem, and Rural Cem. The southern reach of the map transitions into the marshy lowlands near Marengo and the Canandaigua Outlet, showing the complex drainage systems and brooks that fed the regional economy during this mid-century period.
