2010 Map of West Leyden

About this map

West Leyden serves as the primary hub of this central New York landscape, situated where the East Branch Mohawk River begins its course southward. The area is defined by a dense network of small watercourses, including Ava Brook, Wood Creek, and Blue Brook, which partition the rural terrain between small clusters of settlement. To the north, West Leyden Cemetery and the crossroads at Redmond Corner mark established points of community history, while further south, the landscape rises toward Webster Hill. Transportation is facilitated by a grid of rural roads such as Ziegler RD and E Ava RD, and the presence of the Valenty Mierek Airport adds a modern aviation element to this traditional agricultural and wooded setting. Genealogists may find interest in the documented sites of Thorton Cemetery and the small hamlet of Flint Town.
