2019 Map of Fairport

About this map

The Erie Canal forms the historical spine of this region, winding through Fairport and beneath Knapps Bridge as it navigates the terrain of eastern Monroe County. This 2019 survey documents the suburban landscape around East Rochester and the outlying settlements of Bushnell Basin and Egypt, where residential expansion meets the distinctive glacial topography of Turk Hill and Baker Hill. Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial grounds, including the Mount Greenvale Pleasant Rural Cem and the Perinton Center Cem. The southern edge of the map tracks the boundary at the Monroe Co and Ontario Co line, near the community of Fishers. Natural drainage patterns like Irondequoit Creek and White Brook contrast with the engineered path of the canal, illustrating how the 19th-century waterway continues to influence modern spatial development.
