1943 Map of Mount Morris

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

The Genesee River snakes through the heart of this mid-century landscape, carving deep relief into the terrain of western New York. This 1943 mapping, based on aerial photography from the previous year, highlights the steep-walled gorge of Letchworth State Park along the southwestern edge of the quadrangle. The physical geography here dictates the movement of people and commerce, with the Pennsylvania railroad line following the contours of the valley floor while the road networks concentrate on the plateaus above. The village of Mount Morris serves as a primary hub in the northeast, while to the west, the eastern limits of Perry are visible near the Silver Lake Outlet. Smaller rural settlements like Brooks Grove, Ridge, and Simmons Corners are scattered across the agricultural landscape, joined by numerous unnamed farmsteads and rural cemeteries that indicate the deep-seated residential patterns of the Genesee Valley region.
