1959 Map of Henderson

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Henderson Harbor and the eastern reaches of Lake Ontario anchor this 1959 topographic survey of Jefferson County. The landscape is defined by the transition from the rocky coastline at Stony Point to the fertile agricultural lands of Henderson and Ellisburg townships. A dense network of local roads, such as Military Road and Snowshoe Road, connects small crossroads settlements including Aspinwall Corners, Hungerford Corners, and Scotts Corners. For genealogists, the map is particularly detailed, identifying numerous family-named burial grounds like Stowles Cem and Carpenter Cem. Along the shore, the presence of Jefferson Park and El Dorado Beach points to the area's mid-century role as a summer destination, while interior features like Stony Creek and several active quarries reflect the local rural economy of the late 1950s.
