1935 Map of Rochester East

About this map

Irondequoit Bay and the winding Genesee River anchor this 1930s survey of eastern Rochester, documenting the city’s expansion toward the shores of Lake Ontario. The map captures a moment of significant educational and residential development, highlighting numerous institutions such as Benjamin Franklin Sch and Abraham Lincoln Sch nestled within the growing urban grid. Along the waterfront, leisure and industry coexist at Windsor Beach and the Genesee Dock, while the steep, wooded bluffs of Durand Eastman Park provide a natural buffer against the shoreline.
