1952 Map of Rochester East

About this map

Irondequoit Bay and the Genesee River define this mid-century landscape of northern Monroe County, capturing a period of significant suburban expansion around Rochester. The map illustrates a dense network of neighborhoods and civic infrastructure, from the lakeside resorts at Sea Breeze and Oklahoma Beach to the established educational hubs of Benjamin Franklin Sch and Irondequoit High Sch. Notable for its detail of public spaces, the sheet highlights the expansive Durand Eastman Park along the Lake Ontario shoreline and the botanical heritage of Highland Park to the south.
