1943 Map of Nunda

About this map

Keshequa Creek carves a deep valley through this mid-century landscape, where the agricultural flats around Nunda meet the rising wooded hills of Letchworth Park. The map documents a critical rail corridor during the war years, showing the parallel routes of the Pennsylvania and Erie railroads as they navigate the difficult topography south of Nunda Junction. In the western portion of the sheet, the Genesee River flows through the gorge near Oakland, while the eastern side is dominated by the prominent elevation of Round Top. Small rural clusters like Barkertown and Hunt Hollow appear as they were in the early 1940s, providing a look at local settlement patterns before post-war changes. The detailed survey captures the road networks connecting Dalton and Coopersville, reflecting a period when rail and river valleys still dictated the primary movement of goods and people through Livingston County.
