Title
View of Rochester, NY, 1880
Description
Detailed map of former Erie Canal boomtown reflects its growth into a large city half a century later. Looking north, from Highland Park, we can trace the Genesee River to Lake Ontario. Several features from Rochester's earliest days still are visible: the Erie Canal (and its viaduct across the Genesee), mills along the gorge near High Falls, the neighborhood of Corn Hill, Mt. Hope Cemetery, and more. <br />

Although the panorama doesn't have numbered points and a legend, street names are clearly visible and many commercial buildings are labeled. Follow the hyperlink below to access higher resolution images.
