Seneca Lake anchors this 1898 survey of the Finger Lakes region, where steep glaciated terrain dictates the path of commerce and settlement. At the southern tip of the lake, the village of Watkins and nearby Montour Falls serve as critical hubs for the intersecting rail lines, including the Northern Central R.R. and the New York Central and Hudson River R.R. The map reveals a landscape deeply carved by water, highlighted by the dramatic Hector Falls and Havana Glen.
