About this map

The Genesee River cuts through the heart of the urban landscape, leading north toward Lake Ontario and the prominent Rattlesnake Point. This survey of the eastern half of Rochester and its surrounding suburbs like Irondequoit and Brighton reveals a dense network of neighborhoods, institutional grounds, and major transit corridors. Cultural and educational history is anchored by the Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity Sch and the Rochester General Hospital Sch of Medical Technology.

The map highlights significant shoreline developments along Irondequoit Bay, including Sea Breeze, Point Pleasant, and Glen Haven. Topographic features like Pinnacle Hill and Cobbs Hill rise above the city grid, while the massive Mount Hope Cem and Holy Sepulchre Cem serve as major green spaces. Modern infrastructure is represented by the Frederick Douglass-Susan B. Anthony Memorial Bridge and the extensive interchange systems of NY 590 and I-490.
