About this map

Henderson Harbor and the eastern reaches of Lake Ontario anchor this coastal landscape, where the lakefront transitions from the protected waters of Henderson Bay to the exposed shoreline of Stony Point. The interior is defined by a network of rural crossroads and family-named hamlets including Hungerford Corners, Aspinwall Corners, and Scotts Corners. This 2010 survey highlights a deeply rooted agricultural and maritime community, with numerous burial grounds such as Stowles Cemetery, North Cemetery, and Galiea Cemetery scattered across the township.

Waterways like Stony Creek and Sandy Creek meander toward the lake, supporting a landscape of natural ponds and marshes including Black Pond and Lakeview Pond. Along the shore, recreational and natural areas such as Southwich Beach and Jefferson Park suggest the area's dual identity as both a working rural landscape and a lakeside destination. The map provides clear detail for genealogists tracing ancestral lines through small settlements like Rural Hill and Bishop Street.
