About this map

Brockport serves as the central hub of this Monroe County landscape, established along the vital waterway of the Erie Canal. The 1952 revision captures the village and its surrounding agricultural townships of Clarkson and Sweden during a period of steady mid-century growth. The settlement pattern is defined by a rigorous grid of rural roads, including Fourth Section Road and Spencerport Road, connecting smaller hamlets like Sweden Center and West Sweden.

Genealogical interest is particularly high due to the dense concentration of burial grounds throughout the quadrangle, such as Lake View Cemetery, West Clarkson Cem, and East Sweden Cem. The drainage of the land is meticulously detailed, showing the intricate network of Salmon Creek, Otis Creek, and Sandy Creek as they flow north toward the lake. While the canal remains a dominant feature, the inclusion of the Sewage Disposal facility and the local School No 8 reflects the evolving infrastructure of the post-war era.
