1958 Map of Chaumont

About this map

Chaumont and the surrounding shoreline of Lake Ontario define this coastal landscape, where the Chaumont River flows into Sawmill Bay. The map reveals a community deeply tied to its geography, with long, narrow landforms like Three Mile Point and Point Salubrious reaching into the water. Settlement patterns follow the jagged coast, from the inland farming plots near Rosiere to the developed waterfront at Three Mile Bay. Transportation is anchored by the Railroad and a network of named local routes like Old Town Springs Road and Carrying Place Road. Genealogists will find a wealth of family history markers, including Harris Cem, Wells Cem, and Point Salubrious Cem. The industrial and public character of the era is evident in the presence of a local Quarry, the High Sch in town, and the preserved lakeside at Long Point State Park.
