About this map

Honeoye Creek and the Lehigh Valley Railroad define the industrial and agricultural corridors of this region during the early 1940s. The village of Honeoye Falls serves as a primary hub where rail lines intersect, supporting a landscape dotted with numerous local landmarks such as Rochester Junction and Sibleyville. The map illustrates a dense network of one-room schoolhouses, including School No 12 and School No 15, marking the traditional social centers of townships like Mendon and Lima.

A notable geographic intersection occurs where the boundaries of Monroe, Livingston, and Ontario counties meet near North Bloomfield. Local genealogy is well-represented through family-named burial grounds like Graves Cem and Chamberlain Cem, alongside the Pioneer Cem in West Bloomfield. To the north, the terrain transitions into the kettle ponds and hills of Mendon Ponds Park, while various "corners" like Dann Corners and Ford Corners denote the rural crossroads of the era.
