About this map

Eighteenmile Creek defines the local geography as it flows north toward Lake Ontario, anchoring the harbor settlement of Olcott. This lakeside community serves as a focal point for maritime activity with its Newfane Marina and the prominent Olcott Light. The surrounding landscape is characterized by a mix of agricultural and residential development, including Murphy Orchards and several named family farms like Singer Farms and Kappus Farms.

Further inland, the town of Newfane and the smaller hamlets of Burt, Corwin, and Appleton are connected by a grid of rural roads. Genealogists and local historians can find several burial sites preserved across the township, such as Saint Charles Cemetery, Lakeview Cemetery, and the isolated Sawyer Cemetery near the eastern boundary. The presence of the Olcott-Newfane Airport and numerous creek systems, including Hopkins Creek and Keg Creek, reflect the area's transition from shoreline industry to agricultural hinterland.
