1934 Map of Braddock Heights

About this map

Lake Ontario defines the northern edge of this 1930s landscape, where a series of prominent lagoons including Braddock Bay, Cranberry Pond, and Buck Pond create a distinctive shoreline of points and bluffs. The area shows a transition between the established inland community of North Greece and the developing lakefront settlements like Grand View Heights and Island Cottage Beach. Local infrastructure is well-documented through the placement of Frisbee Hill Sch and Sch No 13, alongside family-named landmarks such as Frisbee Hill and Rigney Bluff. The internal network of the town of Greece is visible through roads like Latta Road and Manitou Road, connecting the southern agricultural and residential clusters with the recreational beaches. A notable detail is the presence of Greece Sta, reflecting the importance of the rail connection for this coastal Monroe County community during the mid-Depression era.
