2011 Map of Lyons

About this map

The Clyde River and the complex waterways of the Erie Canal system dominate this Wayne County landscape. The map provides a clear look at the structural evolution of New York transit, showing the modern canal alongside remnants of the Old Erie Canal and the Clinton Ditch. Between the primary hubs of Lyons and Clyde, the terrain is marked by distinctive north-south glacial drumlins that dictate the path of local roads and the drainage of Black Brook and Melvin Brook. For those tracing local history, several family-named locations and small settlements like Lock Berlin, Alloway, and Marengo are documented. Significant genealogical resources are scattered throughout, including the Old Clyde Village Cemetery, South Lyons Cemetery, and the Lock Berlin Cemetery, which sit among the agricultural tracts and orchards of the Finger Lakes region.
