2013 Map of Byron

About this map

Byron and South Byron serve as central hubs in this Western New York agricultural landscape, where the drainage of Black Cr and Bigelow Cr dictates the local geography. The map reveals a high density of small family and community burial grounds, such as Sodom Cem and Walkers Cem, which are invaluable for genealogical research in Genesee County. To the north, prominent elevations like Pumpkin Hill and Lidke Hill rise above the surrounding fields, while the southern portion of the quadrangle shows the influence of modern infrastructure with the path of Interstate 90. Local enterprise is evident at Schafer Potato Farms, and recreational or utility sites like Godfreys Pond and Southwoods Recreational Vehicle Resort show how the land has been adapted for modern use while maintaining its rural character.
