1951 Map of Victor

About this map

Victor stands as a central hub in the early 1950s, where the New York Central and Lehigh Valley railroads intersect, shaping the industrial and transport character of northwestern Ontario County. The landscape is defined by significant elevations such as Fort Hill and Boughton Hill, overlooking a network of agricultural lands and local settlements including East Bloomfield, Holcomb, and Ionia. This survey captures the transition of the region's infrastructure, notably featuring the New York State Thruway cutting across the northern reaches near Canandaigua Outlet. Genealogists and local historians will find a wealth of specific landmarks, from St Patricks Church to numerous family and community burial grounds like Tomlinson Corner Cem and French Cem. The water system is well-delineated, showing the Fairport Reservoirs, Mud Creek, and several ponds such as Sterling Pond and Shackleton Pond that dot the countryside.
