About this map

Bergen Swamp Wild Life Sanctuary and the winding course of Black Creek define the landscape between Bergen and Churchville in this mid-1940s survey. The map reveals a highly structured agricultural and transportation network, dominated by the New York Central System railroads and a grid of rural routes including Reed Road and Sackett Road. These corridors linked established village centers with smaller rural nodes like Stone Church and Beulah.

Genealogists and local historians can locate early educational landmarks such as School No 9 and School No 4, alongside the prominent Churchville Park. Further south, the topography shifts near Oatka Creek where elevations rise toward Pinnacle Hill and Blue Hill, overlooking the settlement at Fort Hill. The detailed plotting of individual structures and farmsteads provides a clear view of the area's development before post-war suburban expansion altered the rural character of the Genesee and Monroe county line.
