About this map

Lake Ontario defines the northern edge of this coastal landscape, where the sheltered waters of Little Sodus Bay and Blind Sodus Bay create a deeply indented shoreline. The village of Fair Haven serves as the focal point, situated at the head of the bay near North Fair Haven and several maritime landmarks like Busters Boat Base and Chinook Harbor Marina. The surrounding terrain is characterized by a series of drumlin-like hills, including The Ridge, Juniper Hill, and Kevilles Hill, which rise above the wetlands and small water bodies like The Pond.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial grounds throughout the countryside, such as Springbrook Cem, Fairmont Cem, and the Phillips Cem. In the southeastern portion of the sheet, the settlements of Sterling, Martville, and Crocketts show the inland agricultural and residential patterns, linked by a network of rural roads such as Fintches Corners Rd and Fair Haven Rd. Along the lakefront, prominent bluffs like McIntyres Bluff and Sitts Bluff mark the high points of the northern coastline.
