About this map

The Erie Canal serves as the central artery for this Monroe County landscape, cutting a path through Spencerport and Adams Basin while running parallel to the Penn Central railroad. The map documents a blend of established villages and institutional growth during the early 1970s, featuring landmarks like Roberts Wesleyan College in North Chili and several rural schoolhouses such as Town Line Sch and Willson Sch.

Natural drainage for the region is provided by numerous creeks including Salmon Creek and Northrup Creek, which wind through the township boundaries of Parma, Ogden, and Greece. Local industry and infrastructure are represented by multiple Gravel Pits, a Sewage Disposal plant, and the curious Town Pump located along Whittier Street. This survey provides a clear view of the area's transition into a developed residential and educational hub while maintaining its historical orientation toward the canal and rail corridors.
