About this map

The Clyde River corridor defines the landscape of central Wayne County, where the historic path of the Old Erie Canal runs parallel to the modern waterway. This 2019 survey captures the developed centers of Lyons and Clyde, which grew as vital hubs along these transportation arteries. The map reveals a dense network of local history, marking the Wayne County Hall of Justice and several significant burial grounds including Berlin Cem, Elmwood Cem, and Saint Johns Cem.

Smaller settlements like Lock Berlin, Pilgrimport, and Marengo are scattered throughout the agricultural lowlands, linked by a grid of rural roads such as Gannett Rd and High St. The intersection of water and infrastructure is evident at the Leach Street Bridge and the Creager Bridge, while the Canandaigua Outlet feeds into the river system near Alloway. This map provides a clear view of how early canal-era settlement patterns persist into the twenty-first century.
