About this map

The Erie Canal and Ganargua Creek define the central corridor of this Western New York landscape, tracing a path through the village of Macedon and the surrounding agricultural uplands. This area, spanning the borders of Monroe, Wayne, and Ontario counties, reveals a dense network of local history through its numerous burial grounds, such as Saint Patricks Cem and the North Farmington Friends Cem. The landscape is punctuated by several small airstrips, including Harvs Airport and Lakestone Farm Airport, suggesting a legacy of private aviation amidst the farm fields.

Industrial and transport roots are evident at Wayneport and Yellow Mills, while the terrain is marked by prominent local elevations like Evergreen Hill and Science Hill. The presence of the Macedon Center Cem and Macedon Village Cem highlights the long-established community centers of Macedon Center and North Macedon, providing a detailed view of the settlement patterns that evolved alongside the canal’s historic influence.
