1950 Map of West Danby
USGS Topo · Published 1962About this map
The Lehigh Valley railroad corridor defines the eastern valley of this terrain, following the path of the Cayuga Inlet and connecting the small settlements of West Danby and Stratton. This mid-century survey reveals a rural landscape deeply segmented by high ridges such as Beech Hill and Key Hill, where agriculture and forestry persisted alongside the rail lines. The western portion of the map is marked by the village of Newfield and a network of family-named thoroughfares including Pratts Hill Road and Vankirk Road. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of local burial grounds like Woodlawn Cem and the remote Siebring Cem, as well as the concentration of structures at Kellogg Corners. The southern reach of the quadrangle descends toward Spencer Lake, where the railroad tracks pass through North Spencer near the Michigan Hollow drainage.
