About this map

The southern shores of Lake Ontario dominate this coastal landscape, where a series of barrier-beach settlements and extensive wetlands define the geography northwest of Rochester. The complex hydrological system of Braddock Bay, Cranberry Pond, and Long Pond creates a distinct shoreline character, with narrow strips of land supporting long-established summer and year-round communities. Coastal hamlets such as Manitou Beach, Grand View Beach, and Crescent Beach are tightly clustered along Edgemere Dr, reflecting a high-density lakefront development pattern that contrasts with the suburban expansion further inland.

Moving away from the water, the terrain transitions into the residential grids of North Greece and Mount Read. Significant landmarks include the Braddock Bay Marina and the prominent Braddock Point. The interior is marked by numerous waterways like Northrup Creek and Larkin Creek which drain into the ponds, while small elevations such as Paddy Hill and Frisbee Hill break the low-lying coastal plain. The Lake Ontario State Pkwy serves as the primary artery connecting these lakeside enclaves to the broader regional network.
