About this map

Brockport stands as the primary hub of this landscape, anchored by the extensive campus of the State University of New York at Brockport and the historic path of the Erie Canal. The 1971 data illustrates a bustling college town atmosphere, featuring civic landmarks like City Hall and Lakeside Mem Hospital. Surrounding the village, the townships of Sweden and Clarkson transition into a landscape of family-named road networks and agricultural tracts, punctuated by rural settlements such as Sweden Center and Garland.

The southern reaches of the map are defined by the winding course of Salmon Creek and the expansive Swamp lands near Northampton Park. Transportation patterns are clearly visible, from the Conrail tracks bisecting the village to the Ledgedale Airpark further south. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial grounds, including Lake View Cemetery, Locust Hill Cem, and the more remote West Sweden Cem, which help map the early settlement patterns of western Monroe County.
