About this map

Le Roy stands as a central hub of Genesee County in this mid-century survey, defined by the convergence of the Lehigh Valley, Baltimore and Ohio, and Delaware Lackawanna and Western railroads. The town’s spatial organization is reflected in its established landmarks, including the Le Roy Airport and the Le Roy Reservoir to the south. Surrounding the village, the rural landscape of Le Roy and Caledonia townships is dotted with small agricultural settlements like Limerock, Linwood, and Union Corners.

Educational and burial sites are well-documented, from Machpelah Cemetery and Maple Lawn Cemetery to numerous schoolhouses such as School No 9 and the Taylor School No 2. A distinct Observatory sits along the Genesee and Livingston county line, while the natural drainage of Oatka Creek and Mud Creek winds through a terrain of orchards and woodlots. The map details a dense network of early thoroughfares, including Yankee Road and Black Street, which served the local farming economy.
