1952 Map of Brockport

About this map

The Erie Canal cuts through the heart of this landscape, anchoring the village of Brockport as it served as a vital mid-century transit corridor alongside the New York Central Railroad. This 1952 revision, based on earlier surveys, illustrates a well-ordered agricultural and residential district spanning the towns of Clarkson and Sweden. Notable for its concentration of historic burial sites, the area includes Lake View Cemetery and numerous smaller plots such as West Clarkson Cem and Garland Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research. Small hamlets like Sweden Center, Garland, and West Clarkson are connected by a dense grid of local roads, including Ridge Road and Swamp Road, reflecting the enduring rural character of Monroe County before late-twentieth-century suburban expansion.
