1899 Map of Ontario Beach

USGS Topo · Published 1903

About this map

The shoreline of Lake Ontario northwest of Rochester is dominated by a complex network of coastal ponds and bays, including Braddock Bay, Cranberry Pond, and Buck Pond. At the turn of the century, this landscape was defined by the transition from a maritime and agricultural frontier to a burgeoning summer destination. The Grand View Beach Electric R. R. follows the narrow barrier beach between the open lake and the interior ponds, providing early transit to leisure spots like Ontario Beach and Windsor Beach.
