1984 Map of Corfu

About this map

Murder Creek and Tonawanda Creek define the drainage of this Genesee County landscape as it appeared in the mid-1980s. The region is characterized by a mix of agricultural land and early-stage suburban expansion, anchored by settlements like Corfu, Darien Center, and Alexander. The presence of the Conrail line and the New York State Thruway indicates the area's importance as a transportation corridor between major New York hubs. Local recreation and community life are centered around Darien Lakes State Park and Darien Lakes Fun Country, while older local history is preserved at sites like Hillside Cem, Evergreen Cem, and the North Darien Ch. This survey provides a clear view of the transition from rural farming communities to more structured residential and recreational zones, including institutions like Pembroke Jr-Sr High Sch.
