2013 Map of Henderson

About this map

The Lake Ontario shoreline near Henderson Harbor and Southwich Beach defines this section of Jefferson County. Agricultural heritage is prominent across the landscape, with family-named tracts and farmsteads like Bonnyland Far, Dodge Farms, and Sheland Farms situated between the waterways of Stony Creek and Little Stony Creek. The village of Henderson serves as a central hub, surrounded by smaller historic crossroads such as Aspinwall Corners, Scotts Corners, and Hammond Corners. Genealogists will find a high density of small burial grounds preserved throughout the rural township, including Stowles Cemetery, Mixer Cemetery, and Galilea Cemetery. The presence of the Graham Creek Canal and various coastal features like Sawyer Point and El Dorado Beach illustrate the area's dual character as both a productive farming region and a gateway to the Great Lakes.
