About this map

Lake Ontario defines the northern reaches of this agrarian landscape, where the shoreline is marked by prominent landmarks like Devils Nose and Bluff Beach. In the mid-1930s, the rural character of the region is evident in the dense network of one-room schoolhouses, including School No 12 and School No 8, which served the farming families of Hamlin and Clarkson. The village of Hamlin sits as a central hub, connected to the wider world by the New York Central Railroad passing through Hamlin Station.

Further west, the settlement of Morton straddles the county line, while Troutburg occupies a scenic position near the lake. The terrain is intricately drained by numerous waterways such as Sandy Creek and Yanty Creek, which wind through the marshes and woodlots. Genealogists can locate family ties at Lakeside Cem or trace the old roads like North Hamlin Road that linked these tight-knit communities together.
