2019 Map of Fair Haven

About this map

Lake Ontario defines the northern coastline of this region, where the distinct glacial geology of the Lake Ontario Plain is evident in features like McIntyres Bluff and Sitts Bluff. The shoreline is heavily articulated by Little Sodus Bay and Blind Sodus Bay, providing natural harbors that supported the development of North Fair Haven and Fair Haven. Further inland, the landscape is a series of north-south drumlins and ridges, such as The Ridge and Wilde Hill, which dictate the drainage patterns of Sterling Valley Creek and Sterling Creek. Local genealogy and settlement history are well-represented by numerous family-named landmarks and burial grounds, including the Livingston Cem, McArthur Cem, and Forscutt Cem. The southern portion of the map shows the village of Red Creek and the small hamlet of Martville, connected to the wider region by the H & N RR rail corridor.
