About this map

Honeoye Creek and the southern glacial valleys of Ontario and Livingston Counties define the geography of this 1951 study. The village of Honeoye sits at the foot of Honeoye Lake, serving as a central hub for the surrounding agricultural community. To the west, the settlement of Hemlock marks the northern tip of Hemlock Lake, near the Fairgrounds and Hemlock Lake Park.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks including numerous family and church burial grounds such as St Marys Cem, Lakeview Cem, and the Canadice Hollow Cem. The landscape is dotted with rural hamlets like Richmond Center, Allens Hill, and Denison Corner, connected by a network of early roads like Big Tree Road and Stone Hill Road. Small industrial remnants of the era are visible through labels like the Gaging Sta and various gas wells, while the presence of School No 5 Hewitt reflects the district-based education system of the mid-20th century.
