2013 Map of Rawson

About this map

Rawson and its surrounding hamlets define this rural section of western New York, where agricultural heritage remains etched into the landscape through local landmarks like Wild Geese Farm and Strzelec Farm. The map reveals a cluster of early settlements including Lyndon, Bellville, and Lyons Corners, each connected by a grid of named country roads such as Slab City Rd and White Meeting House Rd. This 2013 survey documents a landscape shaped by both water and historical transit, most notably the path of the Genesee Valley Canal in the southeast corner near Cuba Lake. For genealogists, the map is a primary resource for locating several local burial grounds, including Hardys Corners Cem, Rawson Cem, Abbotts Cem, and Union Hill Cem, which sit alongside the tributaries of Caneadea Cr and Rawson Cr.
