About this map

Churchville serves as the focal point of this mid-1930s landscape, situated where the New York Central RR and N Y C RR lines cross the meandering Black Creek. The survey reveals a settled agricultural region in Monroe County, characterized by a dense network of early roads such as Buffalo Road and Apple Tree Avenue. In the southern reaches, the terrain descends toward Oatka Creek, near the Mumford Rural Cemetery and the small settlement of Beulah.

Local civic life is anchored by decentralized landmarks like School No 9 near Science Hill and School No 2 further south. The map identifies specific commercial and social nodes, including a Hotel at the junction of Mallock Road and Bridgeman Road, and the community of Riga Center. This topography illustrates a pre-war New York countryside defined by its reliance on rail transit and small-scale school districts.
