1902 Map of Palmyra

USGS Topo · Published 1942

About this map

Glacial drumlins dominate the landscape of Wayne County at the turn of the century, creating a distinct north-south corrugated pattern of hills between Ridge Road and the Barge Canal. This survey reveals a dense network of transportation infrastructure essential to the region's agricultural economy, including the New York Central and Hudson River R. R. and the Rochester and Sodus Bay Electric R. R. feeding into lakeside hubs like Sodus. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the village of Palmyra and the neighboring Newark serve as primary centers along the canal and the West Shore R. R.. Significant local landmarks like Mormon Hill and Pigeon Hill rise above the surrounding creek valleys, while smaller settlements such as Sodus Center, Marion, and East Palmyra are mapped in detail before the mid-century expansion of local road systems.
