About this map

Agricultural research and railway hubs dominate this landscape on the outskirts of Geneva, where the State Agricultural Experiment Station reflects the area's deep ties to horticultural science. The village of Stanley serves as a critical junction, showing the crossing of the Lehigh Valley RR and the Pennsylvania RR, a configuration that once made this a bustling center for moving regional produce.

Rural life in the early 1950s is meticulously documented through a network of numbered schools, such as School No 12 and School No 9, and local landmarks like the Old No 9 Ch. The terrain is shaped by the glacial drumlins of the Finger Lakes region, with Flint Creek and Wilson Creek cutting through the valleys between elevations like Crozier Hill. This survey preserves the exact placement of family-named roads and cemeteries like St Theresa Cem and Barnes Cem just as modern infrastructure began to expand.
