1971 Map of Victor

About this map

Victor and East Bloomfield anchor this landscape during the early 1970s, a period of transition where the New York State Thruway cuts across the northern edge while deep historical roots remain visible. The area is defined by its glacial drumlins and varied hydrology, featuring the Fairport Reservoirs and the headwaters of Sucker Brook. A clear pattern of rural life is evident in the numerous family and church burial grounds, such as Rice Cem and St Patricks Cem, alongside active infrastructure like the Lehigh Valley Railroad. The presence of landmarks like Boughton Hill and Fort Hill points to the significant pre-colonial and early settlement history of the region. Educational and community centers, including Victor High Sch and the Bloomfield Central Sch, mark the growing population centers in these Ontario County townships.
