1902 Map of Pultneyville

About this map

Pultneyville sits prominently along the southern shore of Lake Ontario, serving as a focal point for this survey conducted at the close of the 19th century. The landscape is characterized by its proximity to the lake, with coastal features such as Fairbanks Pt. and drainage provided by Salmon Creek and Mink Creek. The survey captures a moment of transition in Wayne County transportation, showing the route of the Electric R. R. cutting through the southern portion of the map. This interurban rail presence highlights the growing connectivity between coastal settlements and inland markets during this era. Divided between the townships of Williamson and Sodus, the map documents the rural road networks and scattered farmsteads that defined this fruit-growing region before modern suburban expansion transformed the shoreline.
