About this map

Lake Ontario defines the northern boundary of this Wayne County landscape, where the irregular shoreline of Port Bay creates a sheltered inlet flanked by Loon Point and Tompkins Point. The interior terrain is characterized by the convergence of the towns of Huron and Wolcott, with a distribution of small agricultural settlements and rural infrastructure. The hamlet of North Wolcott serves as a local focal point, supported by North Wolcott Cem and the nearby School No. 2.

Several significant drainage systems, including Mudge Creek, Wolcott Creek, and Little Red Creek, cut through the glacial topography toward the lake. Evidence of early land use and local recreation is found at Desbrough Park and Park Cem, while the prominent rise of Scotts Bluff marks the eastern lakefront. A network of local roads such as Dutch Street and Clapper Road connects the dispersed farmsteads of this mid-century lakeshore community.
