About this map

Lake Ontario borders the northern edge of this Orleans County landscape, where fruit orchards and rural farmsteads meet the shoreline at Lomond Shore and Oak Orchard Beach. The terrain is defined by the steady southward rise toward the Erie Canal, which cuts through the southern tier near Hulberton and Brockville. Between the lake and the canal, a network of historic rural schools, such as School No 11 and School No 13, serves the dispersed farming community.

Transport patterns are anchored by the east-west corridor of Ridge Road and the Conrail line, which passes through the village of Kendall. Local cemeteries like Greenwood Cem and Hatch Cem provide vital points of reference for genealogists tracking family names in this agricultural heartland. The drainage of Sandy Creek and Eagle Creek carves subtle valleys across the plains, illustrating the natural water system that supported the early development of Murray and Kendall townships during the late twentieth century.
