About this map

The Pea River snakes through this rural corner of Geneva County, defining a landscape of small agricultural settlements and family-named landmarks. The map records several long-established communities, including Leverett, Fairview, and Weeks, connected by a dense network of county roads. Industrial and commercial history is grounded in sites like Underwood Mill along Holley Branch and the local landmark of Holley Store. The area's genealogical record is particularly well-preserved, with numerous burial grounds such as Macedonia Cemetery, Haney Cemetery, and Friendship Cemetery scattered among the farmsteads.

Water management is a defining characteristic of the terrain, visible in the many small dams and ponds like the James Wise Pond Dam Number 1 and Bowden Sessions Pond Dam. These features, along with the meandering courses of Tight Eye Creek and Beaverdam Creek, suggest a history of localized water usage and small-scale milling that long predated the modern era. The southern edge of the survey captures the junction near Sellersville and the railroad-adjacent village of Pera.
