Lake Ontario dominates this map, meeting the northern residential edge of Rochester where the Genesee River (indicated by piers) enters the lake. The waterfront is characterized by recreational and navigational landmarks, including Ontario Beach Park and the signaling points at Rochester Harbor Light and the East Pier Light. Dense suburban settlement patterns are evident in the established neighborhoods of Charlotte and Summerville, which grew around the lakefront's historic transit and leisure hubs. The map detail highlights the fine-grained street network of lakeside communities like Windsor Beach and White City, connected by thoroughfares such as Lake Ave and Beach Ave. This survey illustrates the modern configuration of the harbor area, including the Pelican River Marina, showing how the shoreline has been stabilized and developed for both maritime safety and public access.
