About this map

Lake Ontario forms the northern boundary of this Niagara County landscape, where the agricultural interior is defined by a grid of rural roads and scattered hamlets. The village of Barker serves as a central hub, containing the Barker Central School and a small municipal Airport. The surrounding countryside is dotted with long-established settlements including Somerset, West Somerset, South Somerset, and North Hartland.

Several waterways, most notably Golden Hill Creek and Johnson Creek, drain the flatlands toward the lake. For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies three distinct burial sites: Somerset Cemetery, Quaker Cemetery, and West Somerset Cemetery. These landmarks, along with family-associated locations like Ray Fitch Farms, illustrate the deep-rooted farming community that has persisted along the southern shore of the lake for generations.
