About this map

Stony Creek Lake and the Rochester-Utica State Recreation Area anchor this landscape during a period of significant suburban expansion between Rochester and Utica. The map documents the intricate drainage network feeding the Clinton River, including the Banister and Wilcox drains, which define the low-lying topography south of Washington. These waterways are interspersed with several gravel pits and the prominent Proving Ground facility near Disco.

Local history is preserved through the locations of numerous rural institutions such as Morgan Sch, Monfort Sch, and several burial grounds including Washington Cem and St Lawrence Cem. The transportation infrastructure is characterized by the grid of mile roads and the Conrail line, reflecting the transition from the agricultural roots of Mt Vernon to the residential growth of Shelby and Sterling Heights.
