1942 Map of Wayland

USGS Topo · Published 1942

About this map

Wayland and Cohocton anchor a landscape defined by the upper Cohocton River valley and a complex network of early railroads just before the mid-century. The Delaware Lackawanna and Western and Erie lines intersect near the town centers, reflecting the area's importance as a transportation corridor between the Finger Lakes and the southern tier. The map reveals a dense rural infrastructure of numbered school districts, from School No 18 in the northwest to School No 8 in the south, alongside local landmarks like Victory Park and the Limekiln in Green Gully. Higher elevations such as Hemmer Hill and Sand Hill overlook numerous named hollows, including the curiously named Pokamoonshine Hollow. Family-named sites like Ashley Cem and the small settlement of Patchinville provide essential data for genealogists tracing the early 20th-century inhabitants of this Steuben County region.
