1953 Map of Rose

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Sodus Bay and the shoreline of Lake Ontario dominate the northern edge of this mid-century Wayne County landscape. The topography transitions from the inlets of Briscoe Cove and Sawmill Cove into a series of distinctive north-south drumlins and valleys carved by First Creek, Second Creek, and Sodus Creek. These landforms dictate the settlement patterns of agricultural hubs like North Rose, Wayne Center, and South Sodus, where a dense network of country roads—such as Brick Church Rd and Schoolhouse Road—connects family farms to the central villages. The map reveals the local economy's reliance on both the water and the land, showing lakeside landmarks like Bonni Castle and Sunset View alongside interior features like the expansive Huckleberry Swamp. Researchers will find significant genealogical detail in the placement of the Rose Cem and Barton Cem.
