About this map

Lake Ontario borders a landscape defined by expansive coastal wetlands and interconnected waterways in this Jefferson County region. The village of Ellisburg sits inland to the northeast, where South Sandy Creek and Bear Creek converge. The shoreline is punctuated by significant environmental features like North Pond and Sandy Pond, separated from the open lake by narrow barrier points. This area is a complex of marshes and small water bodies including Goose Pond, Cranberry Pond, and Lakeview Pond, illustrating a fragile lakefront ecology.

Residential clusters and seasonal developments like The Elms, Montario Point, and Greene Point trace the edges of the water, while the interior is marked by agricultural roads and family-named landmarks. The county line between Jefferson Co and Oswego Co cuts across the southern portion of the map, just north of the Sandy Pond settlement. For genealogists, the numerous family-named roads like McDonald Hill Rd and Hoxie Rd provide clues to historical land ownership near the marshlands.
