1899 Map of Ontario Beach

USGS Topo · Published 1910

About this map

Lake Ontario's southern shoreline in the town of Greece is defined by a series of coastal ponds and early resort-era transit lines in this late 19th-century survey. The landscape features a chain of marshy lagoons including Braddock Bay, Cranberry Pond, and Long Pond, separated from the lake by narrow barrier beaches. Public transportation is a focal point of the local economy, shown through the Grand View Beach Electric R. R. running parallel to the water and the New York Central and Hudson River R. R. serving the inland settlements. Local life centers on clusters like Greece Sta. and North Greece, while the Genesee R. mouth is marked by the Genesee L.H., anchoring the developments at Ontario Beach and Windsor Beach. This map documents a period when the Monroe County lakefront was transitioning from rural wetlands into a premier summer destination.
