About this map

The Genesee River serves as the eastern boundary for this detailed study of Western Monroe County during the early 21st century. The landscape is a complex mix of established residential neighborhoods and massive commercial developments, most notably The Mall at Greece Ridge Center in Greece and the sprawling Rochester Technology Park to the west. Several distinct historic communities like Barnard, Otis, and Lincoln Park remain embedded within the modern grid, providing a clear view of the area's suburban evolution.

Large institutional grounds occupy significant portions of the riverfront and southern sections, including the University of Rochester and the Greater Rochester International Airport. Genealogists will find a concentration of significant burial grounds along the river corridor, such as Riverside Cemetery, Holy Sepulchre Cemetery, and Kings Landing Cemetery. The drainage patterns of the region are defined by numerous small waterways like Larkin Creek and Round Pond Creek, which thread through the dense network of modern streets.
