1969 Map of Van Etten

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Van Etten and Spencer serve as the primary hubs in this valley landscape, where the Lehigh Valley Railroad dictates the movement of people and commerce. The geography is defined by the convergence of steep terrain like Nobles Hill and West Hill around the winding path of Cayuta Creek. Local history is preserved in a network of family and community burial grounds, including Swartwood Cem, Mt Hope Cem, and Westbrook Cem, which are tucked along the base of the ridges. The transition from industrial rail infrastructure at Van Etten Junction to the quiet waters of Spencer Lake illustrates the mixed character of the southern Finger Lakes region during this era. Scattered Gas Wells and several pipelines crossing through Doolittle Hill indicate the presence of energy extraction alongside traditional agriculture and small-town settlement patterns.
