About this map

Agricultural research and rural cross-roads define this interior landscape west of Geneva during the early 1950s. The northern reaches are dominated by the State Agricultural Experiment Station and the Agricultural Experiment Station, highlighting the region's importance to New York's farming sciences. A dense network of numbered school districts, such as School No 12 at Hall and School No 9 near Old No 9 Ch, provides a clear view of the localized community structure that persisted here mid-century.

Transportation is anchored by the crossing of the Pennsylvania RR and the Lehigh Valley RR at Stanley, a significant junction for the movement of goods and passengers. Small hamlets like Flint and Bellona are linked by a grid of named rural routes, including the descriptive Lake To Lake Road. Waterways like Flint Creek and Wilson Creek wind through the drumlin-like terrain, passing landmarks such as Crozier Hill and the Sand Hill Cem.
