About this map

Albion and the historic Erie Canal anchor the southern edge of this landscape, which transitions from fertile agricultural uplands to the shores of Lake Ontario. The waterway system is central to the area's layout, with Oak Orchard Creek and Oak Orchard River winding north toward Point Breeze and the marinas at Rock Ledge Beach. The map documents a deeply rooted rural economy, marked by several active orchards such as Richard Taylor Orchards, Watt Farms, and Orchard Dale Fruit Farms.

Genealogists and local historians can find significant landmarks across the townships of Carlton, Gaines, and Kent. Multiple family and community burial grounds, including Standish Cemetery, Union Cemetery, and Kent Cemetery, are clearly identified. Small settlements and transit points like Waterport Station, Childs, and Five Corners reveal the traditional development patterns of Orleans County as they appeared in 2010.
