About this map

Wayland serves as the primary hub of this Steuben County landscape, where the Erie Railroad and several thoroughfares like the Bath Highway converge. The terrain is defined by a series of deep glacial drainages including Pokamoonshine Hollow and Punky Hollow, while the Cohocton River and Springwater Creek carve paths through the elevated topography. Smaller settlements like Perkinsville and Patchinville are scattered across the valley floors, linked by a network of rural routes such as Valley Road and Limekiln Road.

Educational and community structures from the early 20th century are densely represented by more than a dozen numbered schoolhouses, from School No 18 in the north to School No 10 near Sand Hill. Local history is preserved in several family and community burial grounds, including the Ashley Cem and East Wayland Cem. The presence of a Railroad Grade south of town indicates evolving transportation patterns during this mid-century period of revision.
