About this map

Wayland serves as the primary hub of this Steuben County landscape, situated at the junction of several regional transit routes. The settlement pattern is defined by its relationship to the surrounding geography, with Perkinsville and Patchinville located along the banks of Mill Creek as it flows south toward the larger valley. The topography is deeply incised by glacial drainage patterns, evident in the numerous named hollows such as Punky Hollow and Pardee Hollow that stretch toward the Cohocton River in the east.

Local family and community history is anchored by several burial grounds, including the centrally located Saint Josephs Cemetery and the more remote Ashley Cemetery to the north. Elevated terrain features like Clover Hill and Hemmer Hill overlook the agricultural and residential corridors. The presence of Daybrook Pond and Springwater Creek highlights the drainage network that historically supported the small mills and early industry of these rural New York townships.
