1944 Map of Ashwood

USGS Topo · Published 1944

About this map

Lake Ontario borders the northern reaches of this Orleans County landscape, where the Oak Orchard River carves a deep path through the terrain toward Waterport. The mid-1940s agricultural character of the region is defined by a dense network of country schools, including Ashwood School and School No. 11, serving small settlements like Kuckville and Platten. Along the southern edge, the Erie Canal passes through Eagle Harbor, providing a critical historic transportation corridor alongside the New York Central System (Ontario Branch). The abundance of named rural roads, such as Ridge Road and Stillwell Road, reflects a settled orchard and farming economy. For genealogists, the map identifies specific burial grounds like Oak Orchard Cem and Otter Creek Cem, alongside numerous numbered school districts that anchored these rural communities.
