1950 Map of Medina

About this map

The Erie Canal anchors this mid-century landscape, threading through the commercial centers of Medina and Middleport. In the northern half of the sheet, the canal serves as a primary corridor for transportation and settlement, flanked by a dense network of numbered schools such as School No 5 and cemeteries like Boxwood Cem. South of these canal towns, the land transitions into the expansive Oak Orchard Swamp, where conservation efforts are visible at the Oak Orchard Creek State Game Refuge and the White Memorial State Game Farm.
