2016 Map of Wayland

About this map

The Livingston and Steuben County line divides this landscape of deep glacial valleys and upland summits. The village of Wayland serves as a central hub, surrounded by smaller historic hamlets like Springwater Valley to the north and Perkinsville to the west. This 2016 survey captures the area's transition from the high-elevation ridges of Clover Hill and Hemmer Hill down to the fertile river valleys. Water drainage patterns are clearly defined by the Cohocton River and Springwater Creek, which have carved out notable landforms such as Punky Hollow and Pardee Hollow. For genealogical researchers, the map is particularly useful, noting several burial grounds including Saint Josephs Cem and the North Loon Lake Cem, which reflect the long-standing settlement history of these rural New York townships.
