Birdseye perspectives, or panoramic maps, were among the most popular images of the nineteenth century and were used by cities to attract industrialists and residents alike by featuring prominent civic features. Incorporated only three years prior to this publication, Despatch, NY is now known as East Rochester and was designed around the New York Central Railroad, which ran through the town center. Despatch was annexed in 1906 to showcase the cities proximity to the more extensive economic advantages in Rochester.
