About this map

Panama Rocks stands as a prominent geological feature in this southwestern New York landscape, situated just east of the village of Panama. The terrain is defined by the drainage systems of Little Brokenstraw Cr and Goose Cr, which carve through a mix of upland ridges and lowland marshes like Watts Flats. This 2016 survey documents a deeply established rural network where small settlements like Niobe, Blockville, and Ashville are linked by a dense grid of named country roads.

Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous burial sites recorded across the township, including the Blockville Union Burying Ground, Greenwood Cem, and the small Tillotson Cem near Niobe. The northeastern corner of the map captures the shoreline of Chautauqua Lake at Bly Bay and Warner Bay, illustrating the transition from the rugged interior woods to the developed lakeside communities near Niets Crest. The presence of the Fairbank Farms Airport reflects the continued integration of private aviation into this agricultural and recreational corridor.
