About this map

Batavia and its northern surroundings are defined by a mix of organized aviation, higher education, and extensive wetlands. The landscape transitions from the urbanized streets of northern Batavia, featuring the South Lyon Street Bridge, to the sprawling agricultural and marshy reaches of Oak Orchard Swamp and Galloway Swamp. Central to the region is the Genesee County Airport, situated near the residential developments of H Bennett Hts and S Bennett Hts.

A network of local roads such as Ridge Rd and Pekin Rd connects several smaller settlements and clusters, including Elba, East Elba, and Langton Corners. For genealogists and local historians, this map is a detailed guide to rural burials, marking numerous historic sites including Newkirk Cem, Daws Corners Cem, and Maplelawn Cem. The northern portion of the quadrangle is notably influenced by the course of Oak Orchard Creek as it winds through Bulgary Ridge.
