1950 Map of Medina
USGS Topo · Published 1956About this map
The Erie Canal cuts through the northern portion of this landscape, supporting established canal-side communities like Middleport, Shelby Basin, and the village of Medina. This waterway, shadowed by the New York Central Railroad and Knowlesville Station, reflects the era's critical transportation corridor between Buffalo and Rochester. To the south, the terrain shifts dramatically into the Oak Orchard Swamp, a massive wetland that includes the State Game Refuge and the Upper Stafford Marsh, indicating the area's significance for conservation and water management mid-century.
