2016 Map of Lyons

About this map

The Clyde River and the Old Erie Canal define the corridor of transit and settlement through this portion of New York, where the historic canal path runs roughly parallel to the river's winding course. The village of Lyons serves as a focal point where the Canandaigua Outlet joins the river system, marked by the Leach Street Bridge. This area is dense with genealogical markers, from the Old Clyde Village Cem to the Creager Bridge Cem near Alloway. Smaller settlements like Lock Berlin, Pilgrimport, and Marengo are scattered across a landscape shaped by glacial drumlins and wet lowlands like those surrounding Black Brook. To the south, the terrain descends toward the boundary of Wayne and Ontario Counties, passing through the hamlet of Thompson and the marshy reaches of Dublin Brook.
