2019 Map of Rose

About this map

Sodus Bay defines the northern reaches of this Wayne County landscape, where the irregular shoreline of Sawmill Cove and Briscoe Cove meets land marked by drumlins and wetlands. The interior is characterized by agricultural stretches and small crossroads communities such as York, Glenmark, and South Sodus. The map reveals a high concentration of local burying grounds, including the York Settlement Cem and Barton Cem, which speak to the deep-rooted family history of the township. South of the bay, the extensive Huckleberry Swamp separates the northern resort-oriented settlements like Bonni Castle and Sunset View from the farming hamlets of Wayne Center and Rose. The road network, featuring named routes like Shaker Tract Rd and Pre Emption Rd, reflects centuries of movement through this drumlin-dotted terrain between the Lake Ontario shore and the Erie Canal corridor.
