1950 Map of Ashwood

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Oak Orchard Creek and Johnson Creek dominate this 1950s landscape, winding through the townships of Yates, Carlton, Ridgeway, and Gaines. The map illustrates a developed agricultural region on the southern shores of Lake Ontario, where the lakeside hamlets of Sunset Beach and Lakeside offer a contrast to the inland mill and transit hubs. The influence of the Erie Canal is evident at the southern edge near Eagle Harbor, while the New York Central railroad tracks cut across the central territory. Numerous rural markers such as School No 16 and the Bates Road Cem suggest a long-established community structure. The expansion of Waterport Pond near the village of Waterport reflects the management of local waterways for power or recreation during the mid-century period.
