1945 Map of Rochester

About this map

Bald Mtn rises above a landscape of small glacial lakes and emerging suburbs in this 1940s survey. The area transitions from the rural clusters of Goodison and Oak Grove toward the growing village center of Rochester, where the Grand Trunk Western RR facilitates local industry and transport. Public life is anchored by a dense network of country schoolhouses, including Five Points Sch, Willis Sch, and Hubble Sch, many of which served as local landmarks for families before the post-war consolidation of districts.
