About this map

The Lake Ontario shoreline in Wayne County defines this landscape, showing a transition from the lakeside cottages of Ontario On the Lake and Lakeside to the agricultural interior. The map documents a period when small rural hubs like Furnaceville and Centenary remained distinct, connected by a network of named country roads including Brick Church Road and Furnace Road.

Evidence of the area's local maritime and aviation history is preserved through the labeling of Bear Creek Harbor and a small Landing Strip near the coast. Genealogists and local historians can locate specific landmarks such as Lakeside Cem and School No 13, while the drainage patterns of Deer Creek, Mill Creek, and Slocum Creek illustrate the natural topography before more modern development altered the rural character of the Ontario and Williamson townships.
