About this map

The Ontario County Courthouse stands at the center of Canandaigua, the focal point of a landscape where urban development meets the persistent wetlands of the Finger Lakes region. The terrain is marked by distinctive elevations like Arsenal Hill and Young Hill, while the drainage patterns of Sucker Brook and the Canandaigua Outlet dictate the layout of local infrastructure. To the north and west, smaller settlements such as Mertensia, Centerfield, and Hathaway Corners preserve a more dispersed rural character, connected by a dense network of roads like Rochester Rd and Collett Rd.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the quadrangle, including Pioneer Cem, Sand Hill Cem, and the West Avenue Cem. These sites, alongside the Canandaigua Airport and various industrial pockets near East Victor, illustrate the evolving utility of the land. The map also captures significant natural features like the Beaver Meadow Swamp and Hozzey Swamp, which remain prominent even as the surrounding areas have developed.
