About this map

York and Leicester anchor this western New York landscape, which remains defined by a dense network of agricultural corners and family-named landmarks. The map illustrates a historical settlement pattern of rural junctions such as Phelps Corners, Allens Corners, and Tryons Corners. Numerous family cemeteries, including York Cem and the Pleasant Valley Cem, are scattered across the terrain, offering significant data points for genealogical research.

Waterways like Beards Cr and its tributaries, including Little Beards Cr, carve through the countryside, creating distinct topographic features like Spezzano Gully and Taunton Gully. Modern infrastructure, such as the York Town Wastewater Treatment Facility near Retsof, sits alongside long-standing agricultural holdings like Armson Farms and the Ransom Rail Farm, reflecting the area's continued reliance on the land through the early 21st century.
