USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
Lake Ontario dominates the northern half of this landscape, its southern shoreline defined by the strategic waterways of the Erie Canal and the Genesee River. The region centers on the burgeoning urban corridors of Rochester and Syracuse, connected by the New York State Thruway and the heavy industrial rail lines of the Penn Central. This 1960s-era geography reflects a post-war period of suburban expansion into towns like Irondequoit, Brighton, and Liverpool.
