About this map

The village of Rushville sits at the southern edge of this Finger Lakes region landscape, straddling the line between Ontario and Yates Counties. The terrain is defined by north-south drainage patterns, most notably the wide expanse of Potter Swamp and Flint Creek, which run parallel to agricultural crossroads like Baldwin Corners and Gorham. The 1950s topography reveals a rural network of family-named landmarks and small community centers, including Reed Corners and Babbitt Corner.

Tracing the heritage of this area involves many well-documented burial sites such as Pioneer Cem, Lake Cem, and Washburn Cem. Transportation history is visible through the Old RR Gr and various named thoroughfares like Depew Road and Algerine Road. The presence of the Middlesex Valley Central Sch and earlier rural school sites like School No 10 and School No 9 points to the evolving educational landscape of the mid-20th century.
