About this map

Port Bay and the shoreline of Lake Ontario anchor this mid-century portrait of the border between the towns of Huron and Wolcott. The landscape is characterized by a series of north-south drumlins and marshes, with agricultural lands interconnected by a network of local roads such as Dutch Street Road and Wadsworth Road. At the center of the settlement pattern is North Wolcott, where the North Wolcott Cem and local School No 2 served the rural community.

Waterways like Wolcott Creek, Red Creek, and Beaver Creek drain the undulating terrain toward the lake, while Desbrough Park and several named points including Tompkins Point and Loon Point mark the recreational and geographic fringes of the bay. The map reflects a stable rural environment as it existed before significant coastal development, preserving the locations of family-named landmarks like Mudge Road and the Park Cem.
