About this map

The Seneca River winds through this central Cayuga County landscape, shaping a complex network of waterways and low-lying islands like Hickory Island and Frost Island. This 2013 survey of the area surrounding Weedsport and Port Byron highlights the intersection of modern transit and historical infrastructure, including the Weedsport Canal Terminal and Withford Marina along the riverfront. The terrain is notably varied, featuring the local elevation at Berry Hump and numerous tributary streams such as Muskrat Cr, Cold Spring Brook, and Putnam Brook.

Genealogists and local historians can find a wealth of named cemeteries scattered across the township, from the Saint Josephs Cem near the town center to the Wilson Family Cem and the small God's Acre Cem. Evidence of past rural education remains in road names like Lemon School Rd and Bentley School Rd. The map also captures the agricultural character of the region through named farmsteads like Oakland Farms and Bibbens Farms.
