Rowlands Loop is clearly seen in this 1938 aerial photo, with Monroe Ave. at the bottom of the picture. Vestiges of the relocated Erie Canal extend beyond the loop across the picture to the right. The abandoned right of way of the Rochester & Eastern interurban line comes up from the bottom left corner, passes the loop (where it once crossed the Canal on a high bridge), and takes a graceful curve at top, heading toward Pittsford and east.
