1899 Map of Bergen

USGS Topo · Published 1935

About this map

The Barge Canal corridor defines the northern landscape of this region, serving as a primary artery for trade and transportation through Brockport and Spencerport. This late 19th-century survey documents a dense network of farming hamlets and industrial hubs linked by an extensive rail system, including the New York Central and Hudson River and the West Shore railroads. Further south, the terrain transitions into the more rolling drumlins of Riga and Chili, where the village of Churchville sits at a critical intersection of rail and water. Local landmarks such as Stone Church and Fort Hill provide points of reference for genealogists tracking early Monroe and Genesee County families. The map also captures smaller, specialized settlements like Garbutt on Oatka Creek, illustrating the area's reliance on both natural waterways and the artificial canal system for its economic vitality at the turn of the century.
