About this map

Johnsonburg sits at the northern end of this mid-1960s survey, where the Attica and Arcade Railroad follows the winding course of Tonawanda Creek. This rural section of Wyoming County is defined by its small crossroads settlements and a landscape of rolling hills and headwaters. The map records several historic cemeteries essential for genealogical research, including St Nicholas Cem and Silver Maple Cem near North Java, as well as Toziers Corners Cem further north.

Natural drainage patterns are clearly defined, showing the divide between north-flowing streams like Cayuga Creek and the southern waters of Cattaraugus Creek at Java Lake. The abundance of local gravel pits suggests a landscape still shaped by its glacial geology and local road-building needs. Along the eastern edge, smaller hamlets like Eastman Corners and Smiths Corners punctuate the agricultural landscape of Orangeville and Wethersfield.
