2019 Map of Byron

About this map

Byron and South Byron serve as central nodes in this Genesee County landscape, where the drainage of Black Cr and Bigelow Cr shapes the agricultural and natural layout. The northern reaches are defined by the extensive Byron Bergen Swamp, a significant wetland complex situated near North Bergen. This map is particularly dense with genealogical markers, recording numerous burial grounds such as Sodom Cem, Walker Cem, and Thwing Cem, which are scattered among prominent elevations like Pumpkin Hill and Casswell Hill. The transition from historic water-power sites, exemplified by Mill Pond, to modern aviation is evident through the presence of both the Byron Airpark and Stafford Airport. These features, along with the cluster of family-named cemeteries near Morganville, illustrate a long-settled rural community that maintains its primary crossroads and wetland boundaries.
