1952 Map of Mendon Ponds

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The Barge Canal and several major rail lines, including the Lehigh Valley Railroad and the Erie Railroad, define the industrial and transit corridor south of Rochester. This mid-century survey captures a landscape in transition, where established institutions like the State Hospital and the Iola Sanitarium sit near emerging educational centers such as St John Fisher College and the Nazareth Convent and Normal School. To the south, the terrain becomes distinctively glacial around Hundred Acre Pond, featuring the uniquely named Devils Bathtub. A significant modern detail is the State Thruway (Under Construction), carving a path through the townships of Henrietta and Pittsford. This document records the shift from rural Monroe County to an integrated suburban and infrastructure network, evidenced by the cluster of transmission towers including Radio Sta Whec and Radio Sta Wsay.
