About this map

The Genesee River and Honeoye Creek converge in this 1971 study, defining a landscape at the border of Monroe and Livingston counties. The village of Avon and the adjacent East Avon serve as primary hubs, supported by specialized infrastructure like the Middle Sch and High Sch. This era captures a region shaped by industrial transport, with the Erie-Lackawanna Railroad and Lehigh Valley lines intersecting at Golah.

Smaller hamlets such as West Rush and Five Points dot the rural expanse between the river and the rolling hills of Mendon. For the local historian, the map details many gravel operations including the Gravel Pit Kavanaugh and various scattered Gravel Pits, pointing to the area's extractive economy. Significant local landmarks like the Thunder Ridge Country Club and the East Avon Cem provide specific points for genealogical and social research.
