1953 Map of Rose

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Sodus Bay and the shoreline of Lake Ontario anchor the northern reaches of this mid-century Wayne County landscape. The topography captures a transition from the indented waterfront at Nicholas Pt and Willigs Pt to the fertile agricultural interior. Inland, the New York Central railroad corridor connects the villages of Alton, North Rose, and Rose, serving as the primary commercial artery for the region's orchards and farms. Extensive wetlands like Huckleberry Swamp and Black Brook define the low-lying drainages between drumlins, while local history is marked by quiet locations such as Rose Cem and Barton Cem. Roads like Shaker Road and Brick Church Rd reveal the historical settlement patterns of smaller hamlets including South Sodus and Wayne Center, showing the area's development before modern suburban expansion.
