About this map

The Erie Canal cuts through this western portion of the city, serving as a primary corridor for the residential and industrial growth of Rochester and its suburban surroundings. The landscape is defined by the convergence of major transit arteries and historical water routes, including the Genesee River winding along the eastern boundary. This 2019 survey documents the transition from the city’s dense residential pockets like Barnard and Uptonville to the expanding commercial centers of Gates and Greece.

Educational and institutional landmarks are prominent, notably the University of Rochester and Bryant and Stratton College Greece. Local history is preserved in several significant burial grounds, from the large Holy Sepulchre Cem to the smaller Kings Landing Cem and Britton Road Cem. The southern edge is dominated by the sprawling infrastructure of the Greater Rochester International Airport, while waterways like Little Black Cr and Larkin Cr continue to drain the low-lying terrain.
