About this map

The southern shoreline of Lake Ontario dominates this Monroe County landscape, characterized by a string of seasonal and year-round communities including Benedict Beach, Shore Acres, and Lighthouse Beach. Moving inland from the Lake Ontario State Parkway, the terrain transitions into a productive agricultural and residential mosaic where the village of Hilton serves as the primary hub. This 1970s survey captures the area’s infrastructure during a period of established local services, featuring the Williams Jr High Sch, Central Jr High Sch, and the Hilton Airport.

Transport and drainage patterns are well-defined, with the Penn Central railroad corridor cutting through the township of Parma and crossing Salmon Creek. Local history is preserved in the locations of Parma Union Cem and the small settlement at Parma Center. The map also details numerous small watercourses such as Cowsucker Creek and Buttonwood Creek that feed into the lake, alongside rural junctions like Bartlett Corners and Walker.
