About this map

Lake Ontario defines the northern reaches of this Orleans County landscape, where the shoreline is dotted with summer destinations like Sunset Beach and Lakeside Park. Moving inland, the geography is dictated by the winding courses of Johnson Creek and Oak Orchard Creek, the latter of which widens into Waterport Pond near the settlement of Waterport. This area serves as a significant record of local genealogy, preserving numerous family and community burial grounds such as Greenman Cemetery, Bates Road Cemetery, and the Long Bridge Cemetery near the southern boundary.

The agricultural and transit history of the region is evident in the grid of rural roads and the presence of the Erie Canal at Eagle Harbor. The map captures the small-scale development around traditional hubs like Kenyonville, Ashwood, and Kuckville. From the docks of Green Harbor Marina to the historic crossing at Oak Orchard, the survey illustrates a community deeply tied to its waterways and the enduring infrastructure of the nineteenth-century canal era.
