About this map

The eastern shore of Lake Ontario defines this landscape, where a complex network of barrier ponds and marshes meets the agricultural uplands of Jefferson and Oswego counties. In the late 1950s, the village of Ellisburg serves as a local hub, situated near the confluence of Sandy Creek and Deerlick Creek. The shoreline is characterized by a series of distinct water bodies protected from the open lake, including Lakeview Pond, Goose Pond, and the significant expanse of North Pond. These features, alongside Montario Point and Green Point, reflect a transition from the volatile Great Lakes waterfront to the stable farmlands of the interior.

Local navigation and history are anchored by landmarks like Sandy Creek North Base and the small settlements of North Landing and The Elms. Significant local infrastructure is visible through names like Military Road and Lindsey Road, while smaller localities such as Sandy Pond Corners and Hadley mark the inland intersections. The presence of a Cem near Ellisburg provides a specific point of interest for genealogical researchers looking to trace families along the old rural routes of the North Country.
