2016 Map of West Henrietta

About this map

The Genesee River and Erie Canal intersect in this 2016 survey of Monroe County, defining the transport and development patterns south of downtown Rochester. This area shows the significant institutional footprint of the Rochester Institute of Technology and the sprawl of the Greater Rochester International Airport. Local history is preserved in numerous burial grounds such as Grove Place Cem and River View Cem, which flank the river near Genesee Junction. The landscape transitions from the urbanized districts of Brighton and Mortimer into more open terrain near Cedar Swamp and Groundhog Hill to the south. Small settlements like West Henrietta, North Rush, and Scottsville maintain their distinct identities amidst the expanding road networks and suburban developments that characterize the modern era in western New York.
