1942 Map of Ontario

USGS Topo · Published 1942

About this map

Ontario and Walworth anchor this 1942 survey, which illustrates a landscape defined by an extensive grid of local roads and the prominent path of the New York Central Railroad. The presence of numerous numbered schoolhouses, such as School No 11 and School No 7, indicates a well-established rural education network serving the surrounding hamlets of Fruitland, Ontario Center, and Union Hill. The terrain is characterized by several distinct rises including Nigger Hill, Mathewson Hill, and Drummonds Hill, while the drainage is managed by a series of north-flowing watercourses like Fourmile Creek and Mill Creek. Local genealogy and land use are reflected in cemetery locations such as Dixon Cem and Calvary Cem, as well as the naming of rural routes like Ore Bed Road, which hints at the area's geological and industrial history.
