2013 Map of Newfane

About this map

Lake Ontario defines the northern boundary of this Niagara County landscape, where the settlement of Olcott serves as a lakeside hub anchored by the Olcott Light and Newfane Marina. Moving inland, the terrain follows the winding path of Eighteenmile Cr, connecting the village of Newfane with outlying hamlets like Burt and Corwin. This 2013 survey illustrates a region deeply tied to its agricultural roots, evidenced by the numerous named properties such as Singer Farms, Appleton Farms, and the Stedman Old Farm Nurseries. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial grounds, including Lakeview Cem, Saint Charles Cem, and the remote Sawyer Cem near the eastern edge. The map also documents local infrastructure ranging from the Olcott-Newfane Airport to the various creeks like Keg Cr and Hopkins Cr that drain the fertile orchards and fields toward the lake.
