About this map

Lake Ontario defines the northern reaches of this landscape, where Thirtymile Pt overlooks a shoreline carved by Golden Hill Creek and Marsh Creek. The inland area reflects a mid-century agricultural character, organized by a precise grid of roads like Hall Road and Town Line Road. The New York Central railroad serves as the primary industrial artery, passing directly through the hub of Lyndonville and the smaller settlement of Millers.

Genealogists will find significant local detail in the various rural institutions, including School No 10 and School No 13, alongside burial sites such as St Patricks Cem and Daniels Cem. The map captures the boundary between Niagara and Orleans counties, tracing the drainage of Johnson Creek as it winds toward the lake. From the southern crossroads of Ridgeway to the northern village of Yates, this survey documents a period when the Roosevelt Highway was the region's main thoroughfare.
