About this map

The Byron-Bergen Swamp dominates the northeastern landscape of this Genesee County region, marking a significant wetland complex between North Bergen and the village of Byron. This terrain is characterized by a series of drumlin-like elevations, including Pumpkin Hill, Harris Hill, and Lidke Hill, which separate the various drainage basins of Black Creek and Oak Orchard Cr. The settlement pattern follows these topographical rises, with small communities like South Byron and Morganville positioned along established routes such as Transit Rd and Caswell Rd.

For those researching local history or genealogy, the map identifies several smaller burial grounds, such as Walkers Cem and Thwing Cem, often located at historic crossroads. The presence of both Byron Airpark and Stafford Airport reflects the development of local aviation infrastructure amidst the agricultural fields. Water features like Godfrey Pond and Horseshoe Lake punctuate the southern half of the map, illustrating the hydrological variety of the New York countryside.
