2019 Map of Carleton

About this map

Carleton and the surrounding agricultural landscapes of northern Monroe County are defined by an intricate network of drainage channels that have reclaimed this low-lying terrain for farming. Named features like the John Hoffman Drain, Lords Drain, and Mosquito Drain intersect the countryside, supporting a string of historic railroad-adjacent settlements including Waltz, Willow, and Grafton. The importance of these small communities is evidenced by their established local landmarks, from the Buzzwick Airport to a high concentration of burial grounds such as Saint Patricks Cem and Grafton Cem. The topography remains relatively flat as the waters of Stony Cr and Swan Cr move toward the lake, leaving a detailed record of land use and property boundaries along roads like Oakville Waltz Rd and Scofield Carleton Rd.
