1953 Map of Phelps

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Phelps serves as the central hub of this mid-century Ontario County landscape, where the Canandaigua Outlet and Flint Creek converge. The era’s industrial and transit priorities are clear, with the New York State Thruway cutting across the northern half while traditional rail lines like the New York Central and Lehigh Valley still define local geography. Significant land use is dedicated to research at the State Agricultural Experiment Station in the south, reflecting the region's agricultural importance. Genealogists will find a wealth of family history sites, from the numerous small burial grounds like Westfall Cem and Whitney Cem to established rural communities such as Seneca Castle, Oaks Corners, and Orleans. The map also captures infrastructure of the television age with the Television Relay Sta and local water management at the Newark Reservoir.
