1934 Map of Braddock Heights

About this map

The town of Greece lines the southern shore of Lake Ontario in this early 1930s topography, showing a coastline defined by a series of large ponds and developing seasonal beach communities. Braddock Bay serves as the central anchor for these wetlands, flanked by Cranberry Pond, Long Pond, Buck Pond, and Round Pond. The map captures the transition from a traditional agricultural interior, centered around the Greece Sta rail stop and the settlement of North Greece, toward a recreational waterfront. Narrow strips of land between the ponds and the lake are partitioned into dense colonies like Grand View Beach and Crescent Beach. Local infrastructure is marked by several district schoolhouses, including Frisbee Hill Sch and School No 2, while the interior drainage is managed by numerous named waterways such as Salmon Creek and Larkin Creek.
