1952 Map of Furnaceville

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Lake Ontario dominates the northern half of this 1950s survey, with bathymetric contours marking the shelf as it drops away from Smoky Point. Along the shoreline, the community of Ontario On the Lake sits west of Bear Creek Harbor, illustrating the seasonal and residential development typical of the Wayne County coast during this era. Further inland, the landscape is defined by a network of rural roads such as Brick Church Road and Slocum Road, which connect small clusters of activity like Lakeside and the southern hamlet of Furnaceville. Local history is rooted in sites like Lakeside Cem, Centenary Ch, and School No 13, which reflect the established social infrastructure of a township transitioning between its agricultural past and a growing identity as a lakeside retreat.
