1952 Map of Ontario

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Ontario and the surrounding townships of northwestern Wayne County are depicted here in a landscape shaped by agricultural patterns and rising post-war development. The corridor following Ridge Road serves as the primary artery for local growth, connecting settlements like Ontario Center and Fruitland. To the south, the terrain becomes more distinct with drumlin formations like Jacobs Hill and Mathewson Hill rising above the drainage of Mill Creek and Bear Creek. The community of Walworth anchors the southern portion of the sheet, while institutional landmarks such as Wayne Central Sch and several local burial grounds, including Furnaceville Cem and Baker Cem, provide valuable reference points for genealogical research. The presence of the Penn Central rail line cutting through the north reflects the area's historical connection to regional trade routes between Rochester and the finger lakes region.
