2010 Map of Ossian

About this map

Byersville and Westview sit within a landscape defined by the branching tributaries of Sugar Creek and Bradner Creek. This early 21st-century documentation of Livingston County highlights a rural network of named hills and family-centered landmarks, such as Frog Hill and Scott Hill. Local genealogy is well-served by the clear marking of several burial grounds, including the Ossian Center Cemetery and Oaklawn Cemetery, which provide geographical anchors for the area's long-established residents. The mapping of small settlements like Ossian and the intricate grid of rural roads like Rock Spring Hill Rd and Nunda-Byersville Rd illustrates the persistent agrarian character of this Western New York region, where topographic elevation remains a primary influence on the placement of roads and homesteads.
