1961 Map of Montour Falls

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Montour Falls sits at the foot of Seneca Lake, where the dramatic drop of the Allegheny Plateau creates famous cascades like Shequaga Falls and Aunt Sarahs Falls. This mid-century survey captures a landscape defined by its glacial heritage, showing the wide valley floor of Catharine Creek contrasting with the steep hillsides of L'Hommedieu and Mitchell Hollow. The industrial and transit infrastructure of the era is clearly visible, with the Pennsylvania Railroad and Lehigh Valley Railroad navigating the narrow corridors between the ridges to connect the finger lakes region to wider markets.
