About this map

West Canada Creek dictates the layout of the valley as it flows through Newport and Poland, serving as a corridor for the New York Central West Canada Creek Line. This mid-century survey reveals a rural landscape defined by family-named crossroads and established community landmarks. To the southwest, the Irish Settlement stands near Tanner Hill, while numerous small schoolhouses like Poplar Tree Sch and Bullard Sch are scattered throughout the townships of Deerfield and Schuyler.

The terrain is marked by significant elevation changes, from the heights of Bell Hill and Harter Hill to the deep cuts of Oklahoma Gulf and Smoky Hollow Brook. Genealogists will find a wealth of local history in the many burial grounds documented here, including St Johns Cem, Pine Grove Cem, and Bromley Cem. The map provides a detailed view of the road network connecting hamlets like North Gage and Carey Corners before later 20th-century developments altered the character of these upstate New York communities.
