1951 Map of Honeoye

About this map

The glacial valley lakes of Hemlock Lake and Honeoye Lake dominate this 1951 landscape, serving as the north-south anchors for the communities of Hemlock and Honeoye. The region is defined by a series of high ridges and deep hollows, including Frost Hollow and Canadice Hollow, which dictated the early road network and settlement patterns. Local history is deeply etched into the topography through family and community landmarks like Allens Hill, Bosley Corner, and Curtis Corner. Public life in the mid-century is evidenced by the Fairgrounds near Hemlock and the Central School in Honeoye. Genealogists can trace family names through several burial grounds, including Lakeview Cemetery and Short Cemetery. The map also captures small industrial and agricultural details, such as a Gas Well in West Bloomfield and the drainage network of Honeoye Creek and the Canadice Outlet.
