About this map

Little Sodus Bay and Blind Sodus Bay dominate the northern shoreline of this Wayne County landscape, where the waters of Lake Ontario meet a complex series of bluffs and drumlin-like hills. The topography is defined by prominent elevations such as Wilde Hill, Juniper Hill, and the dramatic lakefront at McIntyres Bluff. Inland, the settlement pattern is characterized by historic crossroads like McKnight Corners and Grays Corners, which evolved along a network of country roads connecting small villages.

Waterways like Sterling Creek and Blind Sodus Creek drain the terrain, supporting the agricultural and maritime character of communities like Fair Haven and Sterling. For those researching local heritage, the map identifies numerous burial grounds including Springbrook Cemetery, Forscutt Cemetery, and Ford Cemetery. The presence of The Boathouse Ramp and various marinas at Eldridges Point underscores the enduring connection between these settlements and the Great Lakes shoreline.
