1953 Map of North Wolcott

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Lake Ontario borders the northern reaches of Wayne County, where the dynamic shoreline is defined by dramatic elevations like Scotts Bluff and the protected waters of Port Bay. In the mid-1950s, this rural landscape between the towns of Huron and Wolcott remained largely agricultural, centered around the small settlement of North Wolcott. The interior is marked by a series of drumlins and north-flowing waterways, including Wolcott Creek and Beaver Creek, which drain into the Great Lake. Local infrastructure from this era is meticulously preserved, showing the locations of School No 2 and several cemeteries, alongside a network of country lanes like Dutch Street and West Port Bay Road. Landforms such as Loon Point and Tompkins Point illustrate the complex geography of the bay, while Desbrough Park highlights early recreational development along the waterfront.
