About this map

Lake Ontario defines the western edge of this coastal landscape, where a complex network of barrier ponds and marshes creates a distinctive interface between land and water. The northern reaches near Ellisburg are characterized by the meandering South Sandy Creek and the South Sandy Creek Bridge, which support the inland agricultural community. Moving south, the shoreline is punctuated by a string of significant water bodies including Lakeview Pond, Goose Pond, and the North and South Colwell Ponds.

The transition into Oswego County is marked by the settled areas of Montario Point and The Elms, leading to the expansive recreational waters of North Pond and South Pond near the community of Sandy Pond. This area is a patchwork of small points and islands, such as Greene Point and Carl Island, where local roads like Co Rd 121 and Montario Point Rd provide access to the various bays and inlets that have shaped the local maritime and residential character.
