1971 Map of Rochester East

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Irondequoit Bay dominates the eastern half of this landscape, its complex shoreline dotted with small landings and coves like Big Massaug Cove and Helds Cove. The map records a period of dense suburbanization within Irondequoit and Rochester, where an extensive grid of residential streets is punctuated by numerous numbered public schools and parochial institutions such as St Margaret Mary Sch. Along the Lake Ontario shoreline, recreational and maritime interests are evident, from the U S Coast Guard Station at the mouth of the Genesee River to the lakeside communities of Sea Breeze and Oklahoma Beach. Significant infrastructure like the Cobbs Hill Reservoir and the Rochester General Hospital campus highlight the mid-century civic development of the area, while the industrial and transport history is represented by the Penn Central and Erie Lackawanna rail lines weaving through the city.
