About this map

Mount Morris anchors this early twentieth-century survey of the Genesee Valley, serving as a vital rail hub where the Erie RR (Mt Morris Br) meets the Delaware Lackawanna and Western RR. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Genesee River and the significant presence of Sonyea P O Craig Colony situated along the Pennsylvania RR (Rochester Division).

Downriver near the steep valley walls, the map documents the riverside settlement of St Helena and the crossroads at Brooks Grove. Local industry and transit are evident in the concentrated development of Nunda and West Nunda, where the Pennsylvania RR follows the narrow corridor of Keshequa Creek. This document captures the complex rail network and scattered rural hamlets like Tuscarora and Byersville before modern infrastructure altered the regional topography.
