1902 Map of Phelps

About this map

Canandaigua Outlet carves a winding path through the northern half of this landscape, anchoring a series of established rail towns at the turn of the century. The transportation network is remarkably dense, featuring the Lehigh Valley R.R. and the New York Central and Hudson River R.R. (Auburn Division) which connect hubs like Clifton Springs and Shortsville. Near the eastern margin, the N.Y. Agricultural Station marks an early center for scientific study along Preemption Road. The map reveals the rural infrastructure of Ontario Co. and Yates Co., from the Gypsum deposits in the north to small farming hamlets such as Ennerdale (Beulah), Reed Corners, and Seneca Castle. The terrain is characterized by the distinct north-south glacial ridges that dictate the flow of Flint Creek and Fall Brook, influencing the placement of the many small-scale settlements and crossroads across this agricultural heartland.
