1931 Map of Mendon Ponds

USGS Topo · Published 1931

About this map

The southern periphery of the City of Rochester meets the glacial kettle-and-kame landscape of the Mendon Ponds Park area in this 1931 survey. Large institutional footprints dominate the northwestern corner, including the State Hospital, the Monroe County Penitentiary, and the Iola Sanitarium, indicating a concentrated zone of public health and carceral architecture at the city's edge. The transportation network is defined by the Barge Canal and the New York Central and Hudson River RR, which supported the industrial growth of satellite towns like Pittsford and East Rochester.
