1953 Map of Savannah

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Clyde River and the Erie Canal define the industrial and natural geography of this 1950s landscape, winding through the expansive Montezuma Marsh. The village of Clyde serves as a western anchor, while Savannah marks the eastern edge of the quadrangle, both connected by the heavy rail lines of the New York Central. The map captures a transition in land use, showing the southern reaches of the Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge protecting the wetland environment near Lockpit. Numerous family-named crossroads like White Schoolhouse Corners, Noble Corner, and Munsons Corner are scattered throughout the agricultural uplands. These settlements, often centered around small cemeteries like Herrington Cem and Wiley Cem, illustrate the deeply rooted 19th-century rural framework that persisted into the mid-20th century.
