1952 Map of Braddock Heights

About this map

Lake Ontario dominates the northern horizon of this Monroe County coastal landscape, where a series of prominent lagoons and marshes define the shoreline geography. The 1952 revision of this area, originally surveyed in 1931, captures the post-war residential expansion along the lakefront, notably at Braddock Heights and Grand View Heights. These seasonal and year-round communities are built upon narrow barrier spits like Crescent Beach and Grand View Beach, which separate the open lake from inland waters such as Cranberry Pond, Long Pond, and Buck Pond. Further inland, the character of the town of Greece transitions into a more rural grid of agricultural tracts and small crossroads settlements. Local landmarks like Greece Sta, North Greece, and School No 2 provide essential reference points for genealogists tracing family land holdings near the winding courses of Northrup Creek and Larkin Creek.
