About this map

The Erie Canal remains the central geographic corridor of this Monroe County landscape, winding through the village of Fairport past historic crossings like Knapps Bridge. The 2010 topography shows the dense residential expansion surrounding East Rochester and Penfield, yet several older rural hamlets and crossroads persist, including Egypt, Hannans Corner, and Fishers.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds throughout the quadrangle, ranging from the Elmwood Cemetery in the north to the Parks Cemetery in the south, alongside the Perinton Center Cemetery. The terrain is defined by glacial features such as the Hunt Hills and Baker Hill, which rise above a complex network of waterways including Irondequoit Creek and White Brook. The legacy of 19th-century industry is still recorded in the place-name Railroad Mills, positioned along the creek south of Bushnell Basin.
