About this map

Black Creek winds through the central corridor of this Western New York landscape, connecting the primary settlements of Byron and South Byron. The map reveals a deeply established agricultural and residential pattern, where large family name-stakes are preserved in landmarks like Pumpkin Hill, Casswell Hill, and Harris Hill. For those researching local lineages, the abundance of well-marked burial grounds is notable, ranging from the North Byron Cemetery to the smaller Thwing Cemetery and Langworthy Cemetery on the eastern edge.

The presence of Morganville and West Bergen indicates the spread of early hamlets along historic transit routes like Batavia Byron Rd. Water features define the low-lying areas, including Godfrey Pond and Horseshoe Lake, providing a clear view of the natural drainage and land use before 21st-century developments. This geography illustrates the relationship between the elevated hills and the fertile creek valleys that supported these farming communities.
