About this map

Rushville stands as a primary hub in this early 1950s landscape, positioned at the intersection of Ontario and Yates counties. The village is surrounded by a network of rural crossroads and hamlets, including Reed Corners, Gorham, and Baldwin Corners. The terrain is characterized by the prominent rises of Harkness Hill and Lazarus Hill, with the lower elevations dominated by the extensive Potter Swamp and the meandering path of Flint Creek.

Transport and industry are defined by the Lehigh Valley railroad line cutting diagonally across the countryside, while smaller infrastructure like Washburn Dam on the West River suggests local water management for the period. For those researching family history, the map preserves the locations of numerous community anchors such as Pioneer Cem, Babbitt Corner Cem, and local schoolhouses like School No 10 and School No 9.
