1955 Map of Lysander

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The Seneca River and the adjacent Erie Canal define the southern landscape of this central New York region, where the town boundaries of Granby, Lysander, and Van Buren converge. In the mid-1950s, the area remained largely agricultural, anchored by small rural crossroads such as Plainville, Little Utica, and Jacksonville. The map captures a detailed network of named farm-to-market roads and local landmarks, including the distinctive Pinnacle Hill and the waters of Mud Lake. Of particular interest to genealogists are the rural burial sites and places of worship, such as Merritt Cem, Merritt Ch, and the Kingdom Cem located near the settlement of The Kingdom. The Delaware Lackawanna and Western railroad skirts the eastern edge, while the broad expanse of Cross Lake marks the southwestern corner, illustrating the complex relationship between the region's glacial topography and its historic transportation corridors.
