About this map

Glacial landforms dominate this mid-century portrait of the Wayne and Cayuga county line, where the landscape is defined by a dense field of north-south drumlins. The village of Red Creek sits at the northern edge of this terrain, while the rural interior is dotted with small settlements like Westbury and Spring Lake. Agriculture and aviation intersect at the Schuler Farms Landing Field, providing a unique landmark among the woodlots and ridges.

The hydrology of the area is shaped by these drumlin formations, with Blind Sodus Creek and Little Sodus Creek winding through the lowlands between the hills. Significant water bodies such as Duck Lake and Mud Pond occupy the southern basins. For genealogists, the map identifies local burial grounds including French Cem and Wood Cem, alongside rural infrastructure like the School near the town of Victory, reflecting the decentralized community structure of the 1950s.
