About this map

The eastern shore of Lake Ontario defines this landscape, where the deeply indented coastline of Chaumont Bay creates a complex geography of peninsulas and sheltered harbors. The village of Chaumont sits at the head of Sawmill Bay, while Three Mile Bay serves as a secondary coastal hub to the west. On the large landmass of Point Peninsula, the terrain is relatively flat, punctuated by the Point Peninsula Cemetery and connected to the mainland by a narrow isthmus.

Settlement patterns follow the shoreline and the primary corridors of the Chaumont River and Three Mile Creek. Genealogical interest is high given the numerous small burial grounds scattered across the township, including the Wells Cemetery, Harris Cemetery, and Harder Cemetery. Inland, the agricultural character of the region is evident near Rosiere and Three Mile Point, where road networks like Co Rd 4 and Swamp Rd traverse the low-lying elevations.
