About this map

The South Fork Zumbro River and Silver Lake anchor the landscape of Rochester in this 2010 topographic record. This era shows the city's significant expansion into the surrounding hills, with residential developments like Hadley Valley and Hallmark Terrace pushing northward. The map is particularly detailed regarding institutional and community landmarks, documenting the University Center Rochester and the Olmsted County Fairgrounds.

Genealogists will find the distribution of cemeteries across the quadrangle particularly valuable, ranging from the central Oakwood Cemetery and Calvary Cemetery to the more outlying Fitch Cemetery near Ringe and the Rochester State Hospital Cemetery. The hydrology of the region is well-defined by the paths of Silver Creek, Bear Creek, and Cascade Creek, alongside infrastructure like the South Branch Zumbro River Dam and the Simonson Detention Dam, reflecting the city's long-standing relationship with its river systems.
