About this map

Lake Ontario defines the northern reaches of this coastal Wayne County landscape, where the waters of Port Bay cut deeply inland. The hamlet of North Wolcott serves as the primary inland settlement, connected to the shoreline and surrounding agricultural fields by a network of rural roads such as Dutch Street Rd and Co Rd 165. The topography is marked by several prominent peninsulas extending into the bay, including Negrohead Point, Loon Point, and Tompkins Point.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several burial grounds preserved in the area, including North Wolcott Cem, the Joiner-Wheeler Cem, and Park Cem. Significant natural features like Scotts Bluff and the wetland ecosystems of Brush Marsh stand alongside recreational spaces like Desbrough Park. Numerous small waterways, including Wolcott Creek, Beaver Cr, and Red Creek, drain the drumlin-strewn terrain towards the Great Lake.
