About this map

The Erie Canal forms a central industrial corridor through this landscape, flanked by the villages of Medina and Middleport. Several historic crossings, including the Erie Canal Bridge, Glenwood Avenue Bridge, and Marshall Road Bridge, highlight the waterway's role in local transit and infrastructure. North of the canal, Glenwood Lake and Mill Pond serve as prominent water bodies near the developed centers.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial records across the townships, with numerous sites such as Boxwood Cem, Sacred Heart Cem, and Saint Marys Cem located near Medina, while more rural sites like North Shelby Cem and Weatherwax Cem dot the countryside. To the south, the terrain transitions into the expansive Oak Orchard Swamp, where Feeder Road navigates the wetlands near West Alabama. This area reflects a classic Western New York pattern of canal-town growth and agricultural reaches, evidenced by the clustered settlements of Shelby Basin and Shelby Center.
