The Lay of the Land by Andrew Wickenden ’09
The Seneca Nation, the Pulteney Estate and the Pre-history of Hobart and William Smith
With the Hobart bicentennial just two years away, the Colleges are reflecting on the history and foundations from which the institution has emerged.
This map, created by Guy Johnson in 1771, was prepared in a time before much exploration by Europeans had occurred. Important landmarks include “Chenussio,” which was a Seneca village located near the modern village of Geneseo, and the “Little Seneca River,” which is today known as the Genesee.
