1954 Map of Montezuma

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Howland Island Game Refuge sits at the heart of this mid-century landscape, defined by the winding course of the Seneca River and its intricate network of island formations. The map documents a critical hydrologic and transit corridor in Cayuga County, where the historic Erie Canal and the Old Erie Thruway parallel one another. To the south, the Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge marks a significant conservation area at the confluence of the river and the Owasco Lake Outlet. The settlement patterns around Port Byron and North Port Byron reflect the region's deep ties to canal and rail transport, with the New York Central railroad cutting a straight line across the marshlands. Small rural hubs like Cottage Corners and Montezuma Station remain visible, providing essential points of reference for genealogists studying the families settled along roads like Yellow Schoolhouse Road and Drabble Road.
