About this map

The Erie Canal cuts through this Wayne County landscape, serving as a historic anchor for settlements like Macedon and Wayneport. The map reveals a high density of small-scale aviation and agricultural heritage, with several private landing strips such as Harvs Airport, Long Acre Farms Airport, and the New Salem Aerodrome scattered among the drumlins and creek valleys. These topographical features, including Science Hill and Dynamite Hill, influence the winding path of Ganargua Creek as it meanders toward Yellow Mills.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented through numerous burial sites and small hamlets. From the Union Burying Ground near Macedon Center to the North Farmington Friends Cem, the map documents the spiritual and communal centers of the region. The intersection of early water transport and modern road networks defines the area's character, particularly around Cator Corners and North Macedon, where the legacy of the canal era meets contemporary rural development.
