About this map

The Genesee River carves a significant path through this landscape, featuring a dramatic series of cataracts including Lower Falls, Middle Falls, and Upper Falls near the village of Portageville. This river corridor is central to the area's geography, winding north past landmarks like Bishop Corners and Castile. The map reveals a deeply rooted rural infrastructure, with several distinct small settlements such as Wiscoy, East Koy, and the curiously named Mills Mills along the western creeks.

Local historians and genealogists will find an unusually high density of burial grounds documented here, from the Portageville Pioneer Cemetery to the Assumption Cemetery and Maple Hill Cemetery. These sites, along with crossroad markers like Griffith Corners and Bigelow Corners, trace the 19th-century settlement patterns that persist alongside active agriculture, such as Apple Hill Farms, into the early 21st century.
