1950 Map of Le Roy

About this map

Oatka Creek and Mad Creek wind through this mid-century landscape where Genesee, Monroe, and Livingston counties converge. The village of Le Roy serves as a primary hub, defined by its water infrastructure at the Le Roy Reservoir and several historic burial grounds including Machpelah Cemetery and St Francis Cemetery. The mapping reflects a heavy reliance on rail transportation during the post-war era, with the New York Central RR, Baltimore and Ohio RR, and Erie RR all traversing the countryside. Smaller hamlets like Limerock and Linwood are connected by a network of established local routes such as Black Street and Ellicott Road. Distinctive terrain features like Flint Hill and the broader Valley highlight the transition from agricultural plains to more varied topography, dotted with rural churches like St Anthony Church.
