1952 Map of Mendon Ponds

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The Barge Canal and West Shore Canal define the industrial and transport corridor south of Rochester, where infrastructure like the State Hospital, Iola Sanitarium, and the Monroe Co Home and Infirmary cluster near West Brighton. This mid-century landscape shows the transition from the rail-heavy era of the Erie Railroad and New York Central to the growth of institutions like St John Fisher College and several prominent country clubs. To the south, the terrain shifts dramatically within Mendon Ponds Park, a glacial landscape featuring the Devils Bathtub and a chain of water bodies including Hundred Acre Pond and Quaker Pond. The map serves as a detailed record of the suburban and institutional expansion of Henrietta and Pittsford before the full onset of modern highway development, preserving the locations of rural landmarks like East Ch Cem and the Rush-Henrietta Sch.
