About this map

Rochester is shown here as a dense urban center defined by its world-renowned medical institutions and its position along the South Fork Zumbro River. The map highlights the significant footprint of the Mayo Medical Sch, Mayo Graduate Sch, and Mayo Sch of Health Sciences, reflecting the city's role as a major healthcare hub. The residential expansion of the city is evident as it pushes into the surrounding Hadley Valley and toward the northern settlement of Ringe.

Water features like Silver Lake and the winding Cascade Cr provide a natural structure to the city's layout. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is particularly valuable for its detailed location of numerous burial grounds, ranging from the large Oakwood Cem and Calvary Cem to the specific Rochester State Hospital Cem and Rosamount Cem. The map also captures the sprawling campus of the Rochester Community and Technical Coll in the southeastern quadrant.
