About this map

The Erie Canal cuts through the northern edge of this landscape, serving as the historic spine for the village of Albion. This waterway, crossed by numerous named spans such as the Ingersoll Street Bridge and Butts Road Bridge, defined the commercial development of the region for generations. To the south, the terrain transitions into the agricultural heartland of the town of Barre, characterized by a series of small rural hamlets including Barre Center, East Barre, and South Barre.

Genealogists will find a significant density of burial grounds throughout the area, from the large Mount Albion Cem and Saint Josephs Cem near the village to smaller family or community plots like Snyder Cem, Annis Cem, and Love Cem. The southern reach of the map is dominated by the extensive Oak Orchard Swamp and Manning Muckland Cr, revealing the complex drainage and wetland systems that have influenced local land use and farming practices between the Orleans and Genesee county line.
