1953 Map of Wolcott

About this map

Wolcott stands as the primary hub in this mid-century portrait of Wayne County, where the village grid meets the winding course of Wolcott Creek. The landscape is defined by its agricultural character and numerous named crossroads, including Stewart Corners, Lockwood Corners, and Pangburn Corners. To the south, South Butler anchor the map near the marshy expanses of Tamarack Swamp. Local industry and heritage are evident in place names like Rice Mill and Furnace Village, while the New York Central railroad provides the vital transportation artery across the northern section of the sheet.
