About this map

Cayuga Creek and its various tributaries, including the Right Branch Cayuga Creek and Red Brook, carve through the landscape of western Wyoming County. This modern survey illustrates the persistent rural character of settlements like Cowlesville and Folsomdale, where the network of country roads often follows the winding path of the water. Small aviation sites such as Cummings Airfield and Treichler Farm Airport highlight the modern use of the open valley floors between the ridges.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds throughout the area, from the Cowlesville Cem to the Persons Pioneer Cem near Persons Corners. The map also traces the boundary lines where Wyoming County meets Erie and Genesee Counties, illustrating the historical division of these agricultural townships. Many of the roads, such as Alleghany Rd, continue to serve as primary north-south corridors connecting the small hamlets of Bennington and North Sheldon.
