1951 Map of Wyoming

About this map

Oatka Creek carves a deep valley through the center of this Wyoming County landscape, where the village of Wyoming sits at the base of the western hills. The map captures an era of post-war agricultural stability, where the economy was rooted in the land, evident by features like the Pioneer Salt Well and several gravel pits. Settlement patterns follow the winding creek and the primary roads, branching out from small hubs like Covington and Pearl Creek. Local education and faith are represented by landmarks such as Central School, School No 10, and St Marys Cem. The varied elevation is punctuated by prominent rises like Titus Hill and Pikes Peak, while the southeastern corner touches the edge of Lake Le Roy. This survey provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure of western New York before significant modern development altered the historic road networks.
