1952 Map of Braddock Heights

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

The marshy shoreline of Lake Ontario defines the landscape of the town of Greece in this mid-century revision. A series of large lagoons—including Braddock Bay, Cranberry Pond, Long Pond, and Buck Pond—are separated from the lake by narrow barrier beaches like Grand View Beach and Crescent Beach, which by the early 1950s had become developed with shoreline residential clusters. Inland, the transition from agricultural land to suburban settlement is evident near Greece Sta and North Greece, where the New York Central railroad tracks cut across the terrain. Small hamlets and named points such as Kuhn, Lowden Point, and Beatty Point reflect the local geography of the era, while infrastructure like School No 2 and a Sewage Disposal plant show the growing needs of the lakeside community.
