2016 Map of Fairport

About this map

The Erie Canal cuts through the heart of this landscape, anchoring the village of Fairport and the surrounding suburban development of eastern Monroe County. This modern survey illustrates the dense residential growth and commercial expansion around Eastview Mall and the hamlet of Fishers, while still preserving the footprints of older rural settlements like Egypt and Bushnell Basin. Genealogy researchers will find significant value in the numerous burial grounds preserved amidst the modern street grid, including the Old Burying Ground, Perinton Cem, and Saint Marys Cem. The terrain is defined by the significant rise of Turk Hill and Baker Hill south of the canal, where Irondequoit Creek and White Brook navigate the glacial topography. Notable transit landmarks like Knapps Bridge and the CSX rail corridor reflect the area's continued importance as a transportation corridor connecting East Rochester to points east.
