2016 Map of Ashwood

About this map

Lake Ontario defines the northern edge of this Orleans County landscape, where the shoreline is dotted with summer-season settlements like Lakeside Park and Sunset Beach. Moving inland, the terrain is shaped by the winding courses of Johnson Creek and the Oak Orchard River, which feeds into the prominent Waterport Pond. This map is a significant resource for genealogists, as it identifies numerous family-named burial sites across the township, including the Carlton Cem, Fuller Cem, and Greenman Cem. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the historic Erie Canal cuts through the area near Eagle Harbor, anchoring the regional transport network. Small hamlets like Kenyonville, Ashwood, and Platten are connected by a grid of rural roads, illustrating the enduring agricultural and residential patterns of Western New York in the early 21st century.
