1899 Map of Ontario Beach

USGS Topo · Published 1899

About this map

The town of Greece and its shoreline along Lake Ontario reveal a late-19th-century landscape defined by a chain of coastal ponds and early rail development. The map details the transition from rural crossroads like North Greece and Greece Sta. to the burgeoning waterfront resort culture at the turn of the century. Running parallel to the beach, the Grand View Beach Electric Railroad provided crucial transit across the sandy barrier between Braddock Bay and the popular destination of Ontario Beach.
