2019 Map of Knowlesville

About this map

The Erie Canal cuts through the northern landscape of Orleans County, defining the early industrial and transit corridor for Knowlesville and Knowlesville Station. This region is characterized by its agricultural heritage and numerous small family and community burial grounds, including the Hageman Farm Cem and Swart Culver Cem. To the south, the terrain shifts into the expansive Oak Orchard Swamp, a significant wetland area where Oak Orchard Creek winds toward the Genesee County line. The map reveals a dense network of country roads connecting small settlements like East Shelby and Millville. Several private airfields, such as Maple Ridge Airport and Zelazny Airport, are scattered across the rural acreage, reflecting the modern utility of these open fields. The presence of Burma Woods and the Albion Reservoir Number Two further highlights the local reliance on both natural timber and managed water resources.
