1900 Map of Naples

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Canandaigua Lake dominates the northern reaches of this region, its shoreline dotted with landings like Hicks Point and Miller Landing that once served the busy steamboat routes. The landscape is defined by deep glacial valleys and high points such as Gannett Hill and Bare Hill, which hem in the village of Naples. At the turn of the century, the local economy relied heavily on a dense network of railroads to transport agricultural goods from the hills. The Pennsylvania R.R. (Naples Branch) terminates in the heart of Naples, while the Kanona and Prattsburg R.R. connects the southern reaches through Prattsburg. In the east, the Lehigh Valley line skirts the edge of Middlesex. This survey captures a rural landscape where small communities like Italy Hill and South Bristol were connected by hollow roads, such as West Hollow and Italy Hollow, before modern highways altered the valley floors.
