1972 Map of Sonyea

About this map

Craig State School dominates the central landscape of this survey, surrounded by its own utility infrastructure including a sewage disposal plant and the Craig State Sch Cem. The terrain is defined by the sharp descent from the highlands of Groveland into the broad alluvial valley where Canaseraga Creek and Keshequa Creek meander toward the Genesee River. This drainage pattern shaped the local economy, as seen in the alignment of the Erie-Lackawanna Railroad and the older, abandoned transport routes like the old railroad grade near Groveland. Numerous small rural nodes like Kysorville, Sonyea, and Hampton Corners are documented alongside specialized local features, including the Dutch Street Cem and the Hawkins Sch, providing a clear view of the social and physical geography of Livingston County during the early 1970s.
