2010 Map of Knowlesville

About this map

Knowlesville and the surrounding farm country of Orleans County are defined by a grid of rural roads and the historic path of the Erie Canal in the northern portion of the quadrangle. Small settlements such as Millville, East Shelby, and West Barre serve as local hubs, while the landscape is dotted with numerous burial grounds of significant genealogical interest, including the Hageman Farm Cemetery and Fletcher Chapel Cemetery. This 2010 survey shows the area's transition into the 21st century, with several private airfields like Maple Ridge Airport and Zelazny Airport established amidst traditional agricultural tracts. The intricate drainage of Fish Creek and Oak Orchard Creek winds through the fields, leading toward Albion Reservoir Number Two. Notable landmarks such as Burma Woods and Pine Hill provide elevation in an otherwise gently undulating terrain managed for utility and transport.
