About this map

The Erie Canal arcs through the heart of this suburban landscape, serving as a historic thread that connects the established villages of Pittsford and East Rochester. This contemporary survey illustrates the dense academic and residential character of the region, featuring prominent institutions such as Nazareth College, St. John Fisher College, and the Saint Bernard's School of Theology and Ministry. The transition from the urban edge of Rochester and Brighton into the more open spaces of Mendon is marked by curious natural landmarks like Devils Bathtub and Woodchuck Hollow.

Genealogists will find significant value in the detailed plotting of local resting places, including the Pioneer Burying Ground, Pittsford Cem, and the Brown Cem near Henrietta. The convergence of major transit corridors like Interstate 390 and Interstate 90 underscores the area's role as a modern crossroads, while the winding path of Allen Creek provides a natural contrast to the grid of suburban expansion.
