About this map

Lake Ontario borders the northern edge of this Niagara County landscape, where the shoreline is defined by Camp Kenan, the Sunset Memorial Tabernacle, and a nearby Filtration Plant. The village of Barker serves as the central hub, situated along the New York Central railroad line. This mid-1960s survey documents a transition in local infrastructure, noting several Industrial Waste Ponds just east of the village and the unique Barker Central Sch Airport located adjacent to the Barker Central Sch.

Rural life in Somerset and Hartland townships is marked by scattered settlements like West Somerset and North Hartland. Long-standing community landmarks such as the Quaker Ch and Quaker Cem are found along Quaker Road, while the terrain is drained by several waterways including Fish Creek, Johnson Creek, and Golden Hill Creek. The map provides a detailed view of the road network, including historic routes like Lower Lake Road and Town Line Road.
