About this map

Vienna and the surrounding agricultural landscape of Harmony and Pleasant townships appear here during a period of mid-century infrastructure growth. The National Road serves as a central east-west corridor, passing through Brighton and connecting the region's farming communities. To the southeast, the extensive grounds of the London Correctional Institution and the State Fish Hatchery mark significant state land use near the New York Central Railroad tracks.

Genealogists will find a wealth of family-named landmarks and local burial grounds, including the McConkey, Bodkin, and Statler cemeteries. The map preserves the rural character of the area before modern expansion, showing the course of Beaver Creek and Sinking Creek through a grid of historic thoroughfares like Broad Gauge Road and Plattsburg Road. These details document a landscape defined by its transition from 19th-century settlement patterns to the era of modern highways.
