1902 Map of Pultneyville

About this map

Pultneyville sits prominently along the southern shoreline of Lake Ontario, serving as a focal point for this late nineteenth-century survey of Wayne County. The landscape is defined by the agricultural and transit corridor between the townships of Williamson and Sodus. A burgeoning transportation network is evident through the parallel routes of the N. Y. C. R. R. and the Electric R. R., which cut across the coastal plain. These rail lines, combined with drainage from Salmon Creek and Mink Creek, illustrate a period of transition where maritime access met modern industrial rail. Inland terrain rises toward landmarks like Nigger Hill, while the coast is marked by the distinct projection of Fairbanks Pt., reflecting the era's reliance on both land-based transit and the lake's edge for commerce.
