About this map

Oakfield serves as the primary hub in this Genesee County landscape, where the street grid converges at the intersection of Lewiston Rd and S Main St. The surrounding geography is defined by a complex network of wetlands and watercourses, including the expansive Oak Orchard Swamp to the north and the meandering Tonawanda Creek to the south. Local history is deeply etched into the land through numerous small burial grounds and landmarks like Nichols Hill and Limestone Ledge, which provide topographic variation among the fields.

Small rural clusters like Wheatville, South Alabama, and Five Corners are connected by historic routes such as the Onondaga Trail and Judge Rd. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community cemeteries, from Saint Cecilia Cem and Cary Cem in the village to the rural Stone Schoolhouse Cem. The map illustrates a settled agricultural region where town lines, such as the Batavia Oakfield Town Rd, mark the long-standing political boundaries of western New York.
