About this map

Lake Ontario borders the northern reaches of the town of Webster in this early 1930s topographic survey. The landscape is defined by the sharp protrusion of Ninemile Point and a network of arterial roads that supported the agricultural and residential growth of Monroe County. Near the southern edge of the sheet, Union Cem and School No 9 serve as important local landmarks for genealogical research, anchoring the community at the intersection of Webster Road and State Road.

A distinct grid of family and place-named routes like Salt Road, Basket Road, and Phillips Road indicates the established land divisions of the era. The drainage of Mill Creek and Fourmile Creek cuts through the terrain toward the lake, while the prominent Ridge Road and Sea Breeze Highway facilitate transit across the region, reflecting the connectivity of the shoreline communities just before mid-century expansion.
