About this map

The Erie Canal cuts through the heart of Wayne County in this modern survey, anchoring the industrial and residential geography of Newark and Lyons. This waterway remains a dominant feature of the Finger Lakes region's landscape, flanked by the winding Ganargua Creek and several distinct drumlin formations including Bailey Hill, Silver Hill, and Jackson Hill. The map provides a detailed look at the smaller settlements that define the rural hinterlands, such as Fairville, Mud Mills, and Marbletown.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of burial grounds across the township, ranging from the large Newark Cem and Lyons Rural Cem to smaller sites like Old Houser Cem and Purchase Cem. The transition from the dense street grids of the villages to the outlying farmstead roads, such as Coleman Hill Rd and Pardy Smith Rd, illustrates the persistent agricultural character of the land surrounding these canal-side hubs.
