Erie Canal traffic and a dense network of steam and electric railways define this turn-of-the-century landscape in Wayne County. The survey captures the region during a peak period of agricultural transit, where the New York Central and Hudson River R. R. and the Rochester and Sodus Bay Electric R. R. parallel the historic canal corridor through Palmyra and Newark. The terrain is characterized by an extraordinary concentration of north-south drumlins, creating a corrugated topography that influenced the placement of early settlements like Marion and Sodus.
