2016 Map of Batavia South

About this map

Tonawanda Creek and its tributary, Little Tonawanda Cr, define the rural geography south of the Genesee County seat. This landscape is characterized by a dense network of country roads connecting small settlements like Brookville, East Alexander, and West Bethany. The area serves as a significant record of local genealogy, containing numerous burial grounds such as the Saint Joseph Cem and Batavia Cem in the north, and the West Bethany Rural Cem and Maple Lawn Cem further south. The presence of the Bethany Airpark and named water features like Seven Springs Pond highlight the mixed use of this territory, from agriculture to small-scale aviation and natural springs. The intricate web of named streets and township lines provides a clear view of land division and property access in the modern era.
