1952 Map of Genesee Junction

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The Genesee River carves a winding path through this mid-century landscape south of Rochester, defining the boundaries and transport patterns of Chili, Henrietta, and Wheatland. This survey captures a dense network of steam-era infrastructure, including the Baltimore and Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Lehigh Valley railroads, which converge near the eponymous Genesee Junction. The map illustrates the region's transition from rural townships to a developing suburban periphery, evidenced by the proximity of Rochester Airport to established local landmarks like Methodist Hill and numerous numbered schools such as School No 2. Genealogists will find several family-named markers and cemeteries, including Bushman Cem, Martin Cem, and the riverfront Riverview Cem. Local industry is anchored by the State Agricultural and Industrial School in Industry, while terrain features like the Mile of Woods and Cedar Swamp highlight the natural character of the Genesee valley before modern expansion.
