2013 Map of Albion

About this map

The Erie Canal cuts through the northern edge of this landscape, defining the layout of Albion with a network of crossings including the Ingersoll Street Bridge and Brown Street Bridge. Beyond the village, the terrain shifts into a productive agricultural pattern of orchards and mucklands. Named family operations like Panek Farms, Culhanes Tree Farm, and Angevine Farms are interspersed with smaller hamlets such as Richs Corners and Barre Center. The map is particularly rich in genealogical data, recording numerous burial grounds like Mt Albion Cem, Saint Josephs Cem, and the small Love Cem to the east. Waterways such as Otter Cr and W Br Sandy Cr wind through the fields, while the southern reaches are marked by the unique drainage of Manning Muckland Creek, reflecting the specialized peat-soil farming that has long characterized this portion of Orleans County.
