About this map

The village of Le Roy serves as a major transportation hub in the early 1950s, defined by a dense intersection of the Erie RR, Baltimore and Ohio RR, and New York Central RR. This convergence of rail lines shaped the local economy and settlement pattern, extending eastward toward Limerock and Caledonia. The landscape is dotted with genealogical landmarks, including Machpelah Cem, St Francis Cem, and St Anthony Ch, reflecting the diverse community that grew around these industrial corridors.

Agricultural and natural features dominate the surrounding terrain, with Mad Creek winding through the countryside and the significant geological formation known as the Gulf appearing to the north. South of the village, the Delaware Lackawanna and Western RR cuts a diagonal path through Pavilion and York, passing near the Le Roy Res. The map also captures several family-named roads and remote burial sites like Van Allen Cem and Job Cem, which offer significant detail for local historians tracing early Genesee County holdings.
