About this map

The town of Webster serves as a central hub in this Monroe County landscape, showing the transition from agricultural roots to mid-century suburban expansion. The 1969 photorevisions, marked in purple, highlight the growth around the village core and near West Webster. The Penn Central railroad cuts across the northern portion of the map, supporting local industry and the community of Union Hill on the eastern border.

Natural features like the Thousand Acre Swamp and the winding Irondequoit Creek define the southern terrain near Penfield. For local historians and genealogists, the map preserves the locations of vital community anchors, including Oakwood Cem, Smith Cem, and several early educational sites like School No 5 and School No 3. A Drive-in Theater along Ridge Road captures a specific moment of mid-century leisure culture.
