2016 Map of Ellisburg

About this map

Lake Ontario defines the western edge of this coastal landscape, where a complex network of barrier ponds and wetlands separates the great lake from the interior. The settlement of Ellisburg sits inland along South Sandy Creek, marked by the South Sandy Creek Bridge and surrounded by a dense grid of rural roads like Machold RD and Torrey Hill RD. The shoreline is characterized by distinct points and coves, including Montario Point and Greene Point, which frame Renshaw Bay. Moving south, the terrain transitions into a series of large water bodies such as North Pond, South Pond, and Sandy Pond. This 2016 survey captures the contemporary layout of lakeside communities like The Elms, showing the development of coastal access roads and the preservation of large marshy tracts like Lakeview Pond and Floodwood Pond along the Jefferson and Oswego county line.
