1902 Map of Ovid

USGS Topo · Published 1918

About this map

Seneca Lake dominates this central New York landscape, served by an early twentieth-century Steamboat Route that connected various landings like Lodi Landing and Lamoreaux Landing. The Finger Lakes region's steep topography and hydrology supported localized industry, as seen in the cluster of manufacturing sites along Plum Creek including Cascade Mills and Mays Mill. On the eastern shore, the Lehigh Valley R. R. and its Willard Branch wind through agricultural townships, while the New York Central and Hudson River R. R. skirts the western banks. Small settlements such as Ovid, Dundee, and Dresden emerge as rail and lake hubs. This survey reveals a transition from waterborne transport to dominant rail networks, marking a period where traditional mills and lakeside commerce coexisted with growing inland villages like Himrod and Lodi.
