About this map

Lake Ontario shapes the northern boundary of this Monroe County landscape, where the waters of Irondequoit Bay cut deep into the shoreline between Rock Beach and West Webster. The map documents a dense urban and suburban network spanning from the heart of Rochester through Irondequoit and Brighton. Educational and religious institutions are prominent features, including the Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School and the Talmudical Institute of Upstate New York, alongside significant local heritage sites like Saint Casimir's Polish Catholic Cem.

The terrain is marked by distinctive elevations such as Pinnacle Hill and Cobbs Hill, which overlook a complex grid of residential streets and modern thoroughfares like the Keeler Street Expressway. Along the eastern shores of the bay, smaller communities like Glen Edith and Bay View provide a contrast to the dense city core and the Monroe County Hall of Justice. This survey details the modern evolution of these lakeside settlements, from the recreational frontage of Oklahoma Beach to the established neighborhoods near Twelve Corners.
