1953 Map of Savona

About this map

The Savona village serves as the central hub of this mid-century landscape, where the Cohocton River valley facilitates a dense transportation corridor. The village is uniquely positioned at the junction of two major rail lines, the Erie RR and the Delaware Lackawanna and Western RR, reflecting its importance as a regional transit point during the post-war era. This confluence of rail and water is flanked by steep terrain, including Brown Hill and Oak Hill, which constrain the settlement patterns to the fertile valleys.
