About this map

The town of Sodus and its surrounding rural hamlets are defined by the unique drumlin topography of Wayne County, where long, north-south glacial ridges dictate the path of local roads and drainage. This landscape is punctuated by numerous historical burial sites, including the Sodus Rural Cem, the Kitchen Burial Plot, and the Glerum Farm Cem, offering significant data for genealogical research. These small family and community plots are scattered from the northern orchards down through the agricultural lands of Joy and Minsteed.

Water plays a central role in the settlement pattern, with Salmon Cr winding through the center of the sheet toward Metz Pond at Sodus Center. The mapping of the School Street Bridge and the Williamson-Sodus Airport shows the evolution of transport in the region, while smaller settlements like Wallington and Maple Ridge maintain their traditional footprint amidst the wetlands of Wildlife Marsh Pond and the elevations of Governor Hill.
