1899 Map of Palmyra

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Palmyra and Newark anchor this late 19th-century survey of Wayne County, where the industrial and agricultural landscape was shaped by a dense network of transit corridors. The Barge Canal cuts a prominent path across the southern half of the sheet, paralleling the West Shore R. R. and the New York Central and Hudson River R. R.. This convergence of water and rail highlights the region's importance as a transportation hub. In the south, the notable elevation of Mormon Hill stands out near the Wayne Co. Ontario Co. Boundary Line, while the northern township of Williamson is traversed by the historic Ridge Road. The map documents numerous smaller rail-dependent hamlets such as Fairville Station and Williamson Station, alongside established villages like Marion and Sodus, illustrating a rural economy intricately connected to the burgeoning New York rail systems.
