About this map

Honeoye Creek winds through this landscape, marking the transition between the agricultural uplands and the industrial legacy of Honeoye Falls. The village of Honeoye Falls serves as the primary hub, where the topography drops sharply enough to have historically powered local industry. To the north, the Lehigh Valley Railroad corridor intersects at Rochester Junction, a critical point in the regional transport network during this era.

Genealogists and local historians can trace family locations through small hamlets and crossroads like North Bloomfield, Sibleyville, and Mendon Center. Significant burial grounds such as St Pauls Cem and Pioneer Cem are clearly marked, while the southern reaches near Lima and West Bloomfield show a network of rural roads and water features including Long Pond and Mud Pond. The survey captures the area just as suburban expansion began to meet the established dairy and farming tradition of the Finger Lakes periphery.
