About this map

Victor stands at a significant transportation crossroads in the early 1970s, where the modern New York State Thruway cuts across older transit corridors like the Lehigh Valley Railroad and Penn Central. The landscape is a mix of developing village centers and persistent agriculture, punctuated by local landmarks like Fort Hill and Boughton Hill. To the south, the twin settlements of Holcomb and East Bloomfield appear as established community hubs, featuring the Bloomfield Central School and several local churches.

Water management and natural drainage are evident through the Fairport Reservoirs and the course of Mud Creek and Sucker Brook. Genealogists and local historians can find specifically marked sites such as Miners Corners Cemetery and Sandy Hill Cemetery, along with parish centers like St Johns Church and St Patricks Church. The prevalence of named gravel pits across the terrain indicates the active extractive industry supporting the region's infrastructure during this era.
