About this map

Lake Ontario shorelines and the fertile agricultural plains of Monroe and Orleans Counties define this 1970s landscape. Much of the northern waterfront is dedicated to recreation, specifically at Hamlin Beach State Park, where landmarks like Devils Nose and Yanty Marsh mark the transition from water to land. The inland area reflects a deeply rooted rural infrastructure, with small settlements like Kendall Mills and North Hamlin serving as hubs for the surrounding farmsteads.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the placement of community fixtures such as Lakeside Cem, Blossom Cem, and St Johns Sch. The map records a network of established local routes, including Brick Schoolhouse Road and Hamlin Center Road, alongside the more modern Lake Ontario State Parkway. Drainage for these low-lying lands is provided by a series of named waterways, including Cowsucker Creek and Moorman Creek, which flow northward toward the Great Lake.
