About this map

Lake Ontario defines the northern edge of this Wayne County landscape, where the shoreline is carved into distinct landforms like Scotts Bluff and Negrohead Point. The interior is shaped by the complex hydrology of Port Bay, which is fed by several winding waterways including Wolcott Creek and Beaver Cr. This 2019 survey shows a coastal environment where recreation and conservation meet, evidenced by Desbrough Park and the protected Brush Marsh to the west.

Settlement patterns center on the hamlet of North Wolcott, with local heritage preserved at the North Wolcott Cem, Joiner Cem, and Park Cem. The road network, including W Port Bay Rd and E Port Bay Rd, follows the narrow peninsulas of Loon Point and Tompkins Point, illustrating how the drumlin-dominated topography of the Ontario Lowlands has dictated land use and transportation in upstate New York.
