2013 Map of Palmyra

About this map

Palmyra and its surrounding Ontario County landscape are defined by the enduring path of the Erie Canal, which winds through the center of the sheet near Ganargua Cr. This modern survey reveals a dense network of family history and local landmarks, from the Palmyra Union Agricultural Society Fair Grounds on the western edge to the notable expansion of The Wide Waters near Port Gibson. The map serves as a vital resource for genealogists, recording numerous small burial sites such as the Lemuel Durfee Burying Ground, Swift Burying Ground, and the Hopkins Burying Ground. Transportation history is visible in the footprint of the Trolley Bed Road Park and several historic crossings like the Division Street Bridge and Galloway Road Bridge. Smaller settlements like Marquart Village and East Palmyra punctuate a landscape of drumlins and hills, including Bear Hill and Hogback Hill.
