1950 Map of West Danby
USGS Topo · Published 1952About this map
Newfield and the surrounding Finger Lakes uplands appear here in the post-war era, characterized by narrow valleys and prominent glacial hills. The transportation network of the time is anchored by the Lehigh Valley and Michigan Central railroads, which follow the natural contours of the Cayuga Inlet and pass through key points like Newfield Station and Stratton. This 1950 field-checked survey reveals the rural distribution of Tompkins County, where local roads such as Vankirk Road and Pratts Hill Road connect small settlements like Kellogg Corners to the more established hubs of West Danby and North Spencer. Genealogists will find value in the placement of community landmarks including Woodlawn Cem and Siebring Cem, which sit amidst a landscape of steep ridges like Jersey Hill and Key Hill.
