2023 Map of Henderson

About this map

Henderson Harbor and the eastern shores of Lake Ontario anchor this coastal landscape in Jefferson County. The interior is defined by a network of rural hamlets including Henderson, Rural Hill, and Woodville, connected by historic routes like Military Rd and Town Barn Rd. The hydrology of the region is complex, with Stony Creek and the Graham Creek Canal draining toward the bay, while Henderson Pond and Crystal Lake sit further inland. Genealogists will find a high density of small family or local burial grounds throughout the countryside, such as Bishop Cem, Carpenter Cem, and Bigelow Cem. Along the lakefront, public and natural spaces like Southwick Beach State Park and Jefferson Park mark the transition from the agricultural interior to the shoreline terrain of Stony Point and Sawyer Point.
