1942 Map of Pulteney

About this map

Keuka Lake West Branch dominates the eastern half of this 1942 survey, where the steep hillsides of Steuben and Yates Counties meet the shoreline. The settlement of Pulteney serves as a central hub, with smaller hamlets like South Pulteney, Lakeside Park, and Glen situated along the lake's edge. This era's landscape is defined by a dense network of local schools, including School No 11 and School No 5, reflecting a rural social structure that centered on small school districts before consolidation. On the peninsula of Bluff Point, the Garrett Memorial Chapel stands near the shoreline, while the interior upland is marked by crossroad settlements such as Darby Corners and Gloade Corners. Significant drainage patterns like Big Gully and Fivemile Creek carve through the topography, leading toward the Jubertown Swamp or the primary waters of the Finger Lakes region.
