2023 Map of Johnsonburg

About this map

Tonawanda Creek and its various forks dictate the topography of this section of Wyoming County, where high ridges separate several prominent waterways. The landscape is defined by a series of long-established hamlets including Johnsonburg, North Java, and Southburg, each serving as a local hub for the surrounding agricultural lands. A remarkable density of burial grounds, such as the North Java Pioneer Cem and Humphrey Hollows Cem, suggests a long history of family settlement and continuity in the region. The map reveals how the modern road network, including Old Rte 98, still follows the contours of the land around natural features like Gallagher Swamp and the headwaters of Cayuga Creek. The southern portion of the sheet is marked by Faun Lake, while the eastern edge follows the course of East Koy Creek.
