About this map

Honeoye Falls and the town of Mendon define this landscape during the mid-1930s, showing a well-established network of rural schools and family burial grounds. The Lehigh Valley railroad and Rochester Junction underscore the area's importance as a transportation corridor between major regional centers. A series of numbered schoolhouses, from School No 10 to School No 4, are spaced throughout the countryside, marking the centers of small rural districts that have since consolidated.

Waterways like Honeoye Creek and Irondequoit Creek carve through the terrain, flanked by historic routes such as Cheese Factory Road and Stony Lonesome Road. Local history and genealogy are preserved in the locations of the Quaker Cem, Graves Cem, and St Pauls Cem, which offer a precise look at the settlement patterns of Monroe and Livingston counties before modern suburban development altered the landscape.
