About this map

Erie Canal infrastructure and the Conrail line define the central corridor of this Monroe County landscape in the early 1970s. The village of Spencerport serves as a primary hub, showing residential expansion alongside established landmarks like Fairfield Cem and Cosgrove Sch. Further south, the campus of Roberts Wesleyan College anchors the community of North Chili, while smaller settlements such as Hinkleyville and Ogden Center mark the surrounding agricultural and suburbanizing transition.

Natural drainage is provided by Salmon Creek and Black Creek, which weave through a mix of wooded areas and open fields. Significant recreational and utility spaces are evident, from the sprawling Northampton Park to the numerous Gravel Pits and golf courses like Craig Hill Country Club. This survey captures the region just as purple revision overlays from 1976 indicate a steady increase in suburban development, particularly around the major thoroughfares of Spencer Road and Manitou Road.
