About this map

The Genesee River serves as the central artery for this Monroe County landscape, where the southern reaches of Rochester meet the educational and transit hubs of the modern era. The expansive campus of the Rochester Institute of Technology dominates the center of the sheet, situated north of the West Henrietta settlement. To the northwest, the Frederick Douglass/Greater Rochester International Airport marks the edge of the suburban expansion at Maplewood and Chili Center.

Smaller hamlets and historical markers are preserved amidst the development, including several family and community burial grounds such as Grove Place Cem and Brinistool Cem. The terrain transitions from the developed heights of Methodist Hill to the low-lying Cedar Swamp in the southeast. Waterways like Black Creek and Oatka Creek converge toward the river, reflecting the drainage patterns that once defined this region's agricultural past before the growth of Brighton and Mortimer.
