About this map

Holley and the surrounding agricultural landscapes of Orleans and Genesee Counties are defined by the presence of the Erie Canal, which cuts through the northeastern corner of the map. This area of Western New York demonstrates a persistent rural settlement pattern where clusters like Clarendon, Fancher, and Manning are interconnected by a dense grid of local roads and county routes. The terrain is marked by the winding path of E Br Sandy Cr and the drainage of Manning Muckland Cr, reflecting the region’s importance as a fertile muckland farming district.

Genealogists will find this particular survey exceptionally valuable for its identification of numerous smaller family and community burial sites. Beyond the larger Hillside Cem and Maplewood Cem, the map documents the Robinson Burial Ground, Glidden Burial Ground, and the Sprague Cem. These landmarks, along with family-named features like McCargo Lake and Honest Hill, provide a detailed record of the local lineages that have shaped this landscape into the twenty-first century.
