About this map

Erie Canal waters wind through the heart of this landscape, anchoring a corridor of historical development between Wayneport and Macedon. The 2013 survey illustrates a region where established agricultural heritage persists alongside twentieth-century infrastructure. Numerous local burial grounds, including the Macedon Center Cem and N Farmington Friends Cem, provide valuable reference points for genealogists tracing family roots in the Perinton and Macedon areas.

Smaller settlements and named farming estates like Long Acre Farm and Sheldon Farm suggest the enduring rural character north and south of the canal. The terrain is punctuated by distinct landmarks such as Science Hill and Dynamite Hill, while the local aviation history is represented by several private landing strips, including the New Salem Aerodrome and Lakestone Farm Airport. The drainage patterns of Ganargua Cr and its tributaries further define the valley's layout, supporting the small hamlets like Yellow Mills that grew along these historic transit routes.
