1953 Map of Seneca Falls

About this map

Industrial and maritime corridors define the landscape of Seneca Falls and Waterloo during the mid-twentieth century. The complex relationship between the Seneca River and the Erie Canal is clearly visible, showing the infrastructure of the Seneca River and Cayuga and Seneca Canal as it winds through the heart of these manufacturing centers. To the north, the massive Montezuma Marsh and Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge contrast with the emerging modern transport network, including the New York State Thruway and its Interchange No. 41.
