1902 Map of Ovid

USGS Topo · Published 1938

About this map

The Finger Lakes region of New York is defined here by the deep basins of Seneca Lake and Cayuga Lake, separated by a high agricultural ridge. At the turn of the century, this landscape relied on a dense network of transit, including the Steamboat Route that connected shore-side points like Lodi Landing and Lamoreaux Landing to the interior rail systems. Several major rail lines traverse the hills, including the Lehigh Valley R.R. and the Northern Central R.R., which facilitated the movement of goods from industrial hubs like Dundee and Dresden. The map reveals the early industrial character of the creeks, such as the Cascade Mills on the western shore of Seneca Lake, and shows the distinct settlement patterns of the Lodi and Ovid townships before modern infrastructure reshaped the lakefronts.
