Rochester and Western New York State 1925


What I like about map is that it shows state highways before the Interstate Highway System and even before the 1930 era highway building. Notice Route 5 is still just numbered 5 south of Rochester and not 5/20. Notice how route 20 on this map is the modern Route 31.
