2016 Map of Caledonia

About this map

The Genesee River valley anchors this detailed 2016 survey, illustrating a landscape defined by its glacial heritage and agrarian roots along the Monroe and Livingston county line. The village of Caledonia serves as a primary hub, situated near the headwaters of Oatka Creek and the marshlands of the Cement Plant Pond. Further south, the meandering river passes through Canawaugus, a site of significant indigenous and early pioneer importance, while smaller hamlets like Fowlerville and Inverness mark the rural crossroads. For genealogists, the map is particularly valuable for its precise locations of numerous burial grounds, including the Scottish Cem, Saint Columbus Cem, and Caledonia Rural Cem. Landforms such as Finnegan Hill and Davis Hill rise above the drainage basins of Christie Cr and White Cr, providing a clear view of the elevation changes that have historically dictated road placement and settlement patterns in this region.
