USGS Topo · Published 1961About this map
Seneca Lake anchors this 1898 landscape, its shoreline dotted with critical steamboat routes and prominent points like Firtree Pt. and Coal Pt. The village of Watkins Glen serves as a nexus of transportation, where the Northern Central R. R. and the New York Central and Hudson River R. R. converge near the head of the lake. To the south, the village of Montour Falls sits nestled below the dramatic Hector Falls, marking the transition into the steep valley terrain of the Texas Hollow.
