1952 Map of Ontario

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Fruitland and Ontario Center sit along the historic Ridge Road corridor in the early 1950s, a landscape defined by the parallel tracks of the New York Central railroad and the rich agricultural drumlin topography of Wayne County. This survey, compiled from 1938 aerial photography and 1952 field work, shows a transition from the lakeside plains near Ontario toward the more pronounced drumlins to the south. Distinctive terrain features like Kuttruff Hill and Boyton Hill rise above the surrounding farmland, while local institutions such as Wayne Central Sch and the Ontario Golf Course reflect mid-century community development. Genealogists will find numerous family-named landmarks and resting places, including Furnaceville Cem and Walworth Cem, providing a window into the ancestral footprint of Walworth and its neighboring hamlets during this era of postwar growth.
