2019 Map of Stafford

About this map

Stafford and Le Roy anchor this rural landscape in Genesee County, where the terrain is marked by distinct rises like Temperance Hill and Scarf Hill. The map traces a network of historic thoroughfares, including the arterial Telephone Rd and E Main Street Rd, which connect a series of small hamlets and uniquely named locales such as Suicide Corners and Texaco Town. These settlements are interspersed with numerous burial grounds of significant genealogical interest, from the Fargo Road Pioneer Cem to the Jug City Cem. The hydrological character of the region is defined by the winding course of Oatka Creek and its tributaries, Black Cr and White Cr, which carve through the farmland. This 2019 survey documents a landscape where traditional agricultural patterns persist alongside small crossroads communities like Pavilion Center and Roanoke.
