2012 Map of Rochester

About this map

The Cocheco River and Salmon Falls River define the industrial and civic landscape of Rochester in the early 21st century. This survey details the transition from the historic city core to outlying areas like Gonic and East Rochester, where aviation and institutional growth are evident at Skyhaven Airport and Granite State College at Rochester. Numerous burial grounds, including Cimetiere Du Sainte Rosaire, Saint Marys Cem, and Mont-Calvaire Cimetiere, provide significant genealogical markers for the region's diverse history. The persistence of local gathering places is seen at the Rochester Fairgrounds, while the surrounding terrain is marked by prominent elevations such as Gonic Hill and Haven Hill. Smaller water features like Heath Brook and Lily Pond remain central to the local geography amidst modern residential expansion.
