About this map

The Erie Canal and the Penn Central railroad corridors define the central movement of this Wayne County landscape, anchored by the village of Macedon. This mid-century survey, with revisions from 1969, illustrates a region shaped by both its agricultural roots and industrial transport legacy. The presence of Yellow Mills on Ganargua Creek and the numerous gravel pits near Walworth Station point to the local processing and extraction industries that once thrived alongside the canal.

Genealogists and local historians can trace the rural school system of an earlier era through labels like School No 9 and School No 11, while the double name for Farmington (Pumpkin Hook) preserves a distinctive local vernacular. Settlements such as Wayneport, North Macedon, and the small cluster at Cator Corners are mapped in detail, showing their relationship to a road network that includes historic routes like Quaker Road and Kittening Road.
