1971 Map of Honeoye Falls

About this map

Honeoye Creek meanders through the heart of this landscape, connecting the industrial and residential centers of Honeoye Falls and North Bloomfield. The 1971 survey captures a transition in transportation, showing the Lehigh Valley Railroad and its connection at Rochester Junction alongside an Old Railroad Grade that speaks to earlier rail eras. The region is dotted with historic crossroads and rural hamlets such as Mendon Center, Sibleyville, and West Bloomfield. Genealogical interest is found in the local burial grounds, including St Pauls Cem and Pioneer Cem, as well as named family corners like Commins Corners and Tomlinson Corners. The map also details the natural drainage of the area, featuring Irondequoit Creek, Trout Creek, and several wetlands including Mud Pond and Round Pond near the southern boundary.
