1902 Map of Pultneyville

About this map

Pultneyville sits prominently along the southern shore of Lake Ontario in this turn-of-the-century topographic record. The landscape reflects a transition in rural transport, captured shortly before the internal combustion engine reshaped local travel. An Electric R. R. cuts across the southeastern corner, signifying the era of interurban rail that briefly connected these lakeside communities. The terrain is defined by glacial features and watercourses such as Salmon Creek and Mink Creek, which drain the agricultural lands of Williamson and Sodus toward the lake. Distinctive shore features like Fairbanks Pt. and Nigger Hill provide clear reference points for those studying the original coastline and early property distributions before mid-century development. This survey, conducted in 1898, preserves the exact road network and building placements of a late-19th-century maritime and farming district.
