About this map

Lake Ontario defines the northern edge of this landscape, where the Hamlin Beach State Park and Yanty Marsh sit alongside the winding Lake Ontario State Parkway. Moving inland, the map shows a fertile agricultural region in the early 1970s, characterized by a grid of rural roads like Moscow Road and Redman Road that link small settlements. The area is intersected by several waterways, including Sandy Creek and Cowsucker Creek, which drain toward the lake.

Community life is anchored by locations such as the St Johns Sch and the central village of Hamlin. The industrial and transport history of the region is evident in the Penn Central rail line passing through Morton and the presence of a Sandpit and local utilities. For those researching family history, the map includes significant local landmarks such as Lakeside Cem and Blossom Cem, offering a precise view of the county line between Orleans and Monroe counties.
