USGS Topo · Published 1923About this map
The Genesee River serves as the central artery for this early 20th-century landscape, carving through Rochester toward its outlet at Lake Ontario. This 1920 edition reflects a city transitioning into its modern footprint, with dense urban development concentrated at the river's falls and spreading toward the suburbs of Greece and Irondequoit. The shoreline is characterized by a series of lagoons and points, including Braddock Bay and Irondequoit Bay, which supported seasonal retreats like Manitou Beach.
