1953 Map of Seneca Falls

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The industrial and hydraulic character of Seneca Falls and Waterloo is defined by the Cayuga and Seneca Canal, which threads through the heart of these Finger Lakes communities. At the time of this 1953 survey, the landscape shows a transition from the dense village grids to the sprawling Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge in the northeast. Notable local landmarks include the Mynderse Academy and Van Cleef Lake, while the transportation network is anchored by the Thruway Toll Road and the Conrail lines. Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites across the townships, from the Kingdom Cem and Maple Grove Cem in the west to the Rest Vale Cemetery and St Columbkille Cem near the canal. The map also captures the eastern edge of Junius and the northern reaches of Fayette, illustrating the agricultural and civic layout of the mid-20th century.
