2016 Map of Williamson

About this map

Williamson and Marion anchor this landscape in Wayne County, where the topography is defined by distinctive north-south glacial drumlins. These elongated ridges, such as Pigeon Hill and Prospect Hill, dictate the local road network, forcing routes like Van Cruyningham Rd and Eddy Ridge Rd to follow the low ground between elevations. The area’s cemetery record is particularly dense, offering significant genealogical value through sites like Marion Village Cem, Ridge Chapel Cem, and the remote Gilbert Cem. Waterways including Salmon Cr and Mink Cr thread through the valleys, supporting a rural economy that includes aviation facilities like the Williamson-Sodus Airport and the smaller Ag-Alley Airport. This survey provides a clear look at the intersection of early settlement patterns and the specialized glacial geology of the Lake Ontario plains.
