1943 Map of Fairport

About this map

The Barge Canal cuts a distinctive path through this mid-century landscape, anchoring the village of Fairport and shaping the region's industrial and transport character. To the west, East Rochester displays an organized street grid, while the surrounding area is punctuated by specialized landmarks like Radio Station Wham and an Airport. The terrain shifts from the flat canal corridor to the significant elevations of Turk Hill and Turks Hill 2 in the south, where Powder Mill Park and small water bodies like Lily Pond and Lake Lacoma provide a contrast to the agricultural and residential development elsewhere.
