About this map

Danby and the surrounding rural hamlets of South Danby, Willseyville, and Caroline Depot characterize this corner of the Southern Tier. The landscape is defined by its significant upland terrain, featuring prominent peaks such as Steventown Hill, Durfee Hill, and Eastman Hill. These ridges are interspersed with valley drainages like Buttermilk Creek and Willseyville Creek, creating a pattern of settlement where farms and small communities are tucked into the lower elevations while the Danby State Forest occupies much of the higher, forested ground.

Genealogists will find a high density of small, family-named burial grounds, including the Michael Handy Farm Cemetery and Fisher Settlement Cemetery. Local history is visible in the naming of rural crossroads and landmarks, such as Crum Town and the prominent Point O'Rocks. The map captures the enduring rural character of the region, from the residential clusters at Danby to outlying operations like Angel Ridge Farm, connected by a network of winding roads like Michigan Hollow Rd and Coddington Rd.
