2016 Map of Holley

About this map

The Erie Canal cuts through the northeastern corner of this landscape, a defining feature for the village of Holley. This 2016 survey illustrates the persistent agricultural and small-town character of Orleans County, where the terrain transitions from the canal corridor toward the rise of Honest Hill. The map is particularly dense with small, family-named burial sites and historic cemeteries, including the Robinson Burying Ground, Glidden Burying Ground, and Pioneer Cem. These sites, alongside the namesake village of Clarendon, reflect a deeply rooted settlement pattern established well before the modern era. Waterways like E Br Sandy Cr and the drainage of Manning Muckland Cr define the rural stretches between local hubs such as Fancher and Manning. For those tracking local history, the placement of Hillside Cem and Holy Cross Cem near the canal suggests the long-term community growth centered around the historic waterway.
