About this map

Rochester serves as the focal point of this Fulton County study, situated at the junction of the Erie-Lackawanna and New York Chicago and St Louis railroads. The landscape is defined by the expansive Lake Manitou, which features distinct landforms like Big Island and Treasure Island, and the winding Tippecanoe River to the north.

Genealogists and local researchers will find significant detail in the numerous burial grounds, including Sand Hill Cem, IOOF Cem, and the Old Shelton Cem further south. The map documents the mid-century infrastructure of the community, from the National Fish Hatchery and Municipal Airport to the industrial presence of multiple gravel pits. Small surrounding settlements and points of interest like Athens, Wagoner, and the Mt Zion Millpond illustrate the rural character of the county outside the primary township.
