About this map

The Erie Canal cuts through this portion of Wayne County, serving as a historic corridor that connects the larger settlement of Newark with the surrounding agricultural landscape. The waterway is flanked by essential crossings like the East Avenue Bridge and the County House Road Bridge, which integrate the canal into the local road network. To the north, the terrain transitions into a pattern of drumlins and glacial features, where smaller hamlets such as Fairville and Hydesville are situated along Ganargua Creek.

Genealogists can find significant value in the numerous burial grounds recorded here, including Fairville Cem, Marbletown Cem, and the Fellows North Lyons Rural Cem. The industrial and local history of the region is further evidenced by locations such as Mud Mills and the diverse local infrastructure, ranging from the hilltop at Bailey Hill to the operations at Toggenburg Farms Airport. This record demonstrates the enduring relationship between the nineteenth-century canal system and the modern development of the Ontario County borderlands.
