About this map

The Erie Canal and the Penn Central railroad tracks create a concentrated corridor of transport and industry through this portion of Wayne and Ontario Counties. Centered on Macedon, the landscape is defined by the winding course of Ganargua Creek and a series of drumlins including Science Hill and Dynamite Hill. The settlement of Farmington (Pumpkin Hook) sits at a crossroads to the south, while small historic clusters like Wayneport and Walworth Station highlight the era's reliance on rail and water infrastructure.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific landmarks, from St Patricks Ch and the Macedon Center Cem to a series of numbered district schools. The presence of multiple Gravel Pits and a Tannery near Macedon Center points to the local extraction and processing industries that shaped the community mid-century. This survey, updated with 1969 aerial data, preserves the footprints of rural homesteads before the expansion of modern suburban developments.
