1900 Map of Macedon

USGS Topo · Published 1931

About this map

The Lake Ontario shoreline defines the northern edge of this territory, where numerous drainage systems like Fourmile Creek and Bear Creek flow toward the coast. This late nineteenth-century survey documents a critical transition in New York's transportation infrastructure, capturing the alignment of the Erie Canal alongside the developing Barge Canal. The heavy influence of the railroad era is evident through the path of the New York Central and Hudson River R. R. and the West Shore R. R., which catalyzed growth in hubs like Fairport and Macedon. Further south, the landscape rises toward Turk Hill and Baker Hill, while scattered rural communities such as Furnaceville, Fruitland, and Walworth appear connected by the historic Ridge Road. This survey provides a clear view of the Finger Lakes region's northern reaches before the full modernization of the twentieth century.
