1900 Map of Macedon

USGS Topo · Published 1900

About this map

The Erie Canal cuts through the southern heart of this landscape at the turn of the century, serving as a vital artery alongside the New York Central and Hudson River R. R. and the West Shore R. R.. This 1898 survey captures the dense rail-and-water infrastructure that fueled the development of towns like Fairport and Macedon. To the north, the shoreline of Ontario Lake is defined by drainage features such as Fourmile Creek and Ninemile Pt., while the interior is dotted with crossroads hamlets like Union Hill, Roseland, and Ontario Center. The map reveals the early industrial and agricultural footprint of the region, including the curiously named Furnaceville and the distinct elevation changes around Turk Hill and Baker Hill, providing a look at the topographical diversity between the lake plain and the drumlin fields to the south.
