1950 Map of Byron

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Black Creek winds through the heart of this Genesee County landscape, shaping the development of settlements like Byron and South Byron. The area is characterized by a mix of agricultural land and the expansive Byron Bergen Swamp Wildlife Sanctuary, a significant natural feature in the northeast. Transportation history is etched into the terrain, from the active Conrail tracks and the older Old Railroad Grade to historic thoroughfares such as Transit Road and Bank Street. For those researching local lineages, the map identifies several burial grounds including North Byron Cem, Sodom Cem, and Walkers Cem. Cultural landmarks like the Airway Beacon and a small Airfield near Morganville reflect the mid-century infrastructure of western New York, while family-named heights such as Cesswell Hill and Harris Hill provide distinct local context.
