About this map

Cowlesville and the surrounding rural landscape of Erie and Wyoming counties are defined by a network of creeks and small farming settlements. This 2013 survey reveals the persistent agricultural character of the region, where family and community heritage is anchored by several local burial grounds, including Cowlesville Village Cem and Sacred Heart Cem. The terrain is carved by the Cayuga Cr and its tributaries, such as Right Br Cayuga Cr and Red Brook, which shape the placement of historic roads and bridges.

Industrial and recreational activities are visible through features like the Ironwood Golf Course and several private airstrips, including Fisher Airport and Sheldon Airport. The map also preserves the locations of smaller crossroads such as Harris Corners and Persons Corners, providing a precise look at the township structures in the early 21st century. Significant landmarks like the Schoellkopf Road Bridge and Camp Schoellkopf further indicate the community's local infrastructure and outdoor heritage.
