1902 Map of Ovid

About this map

Seneca Lake and its steep-banked eastern and western shores dominate this landscape at the turn of the century, serving as a corridor for trade and transit. The map identifies a clear Steamboat Route navigating between points like Lodi Landing and Lamoreaux Landing, illustrating how water remained central to commerce even as massive rail networks expanded. Along the western ridge, the Northern Central R. R. and New York Central and Hudson River R. R. parallel the lake, serving established settlements such as Dundee, Himrod, and Dresden.
