1956 Map of Pulaski

About this map

Salmon River dominates this mid-century survey as it flows through the village of Pulaski, eventually reaching Lake Ontario at Port Ontario. The shoreline is a study in recreational and maritime history, featuring the Selkirk Lighthouse and the expansive Selkirk State Park just north of Mexico Bay. Inland, the landscape is defined by its rural crossroads and local institutions, including the Academy and Central School and various family-named intersections like Tinker Tavern Corner and Malby Corners. A network of small waterways, such as Grindstone Creek and Deer Creek, carves through the terrain, supporting the agricultural character of the Richland and Sandy Creek townships. Genealogists will find numerous burial grounds preserved here, from the North Street Road Cemetery to the South Richland Cemetery, alongside scattered community hubs like Daysville and Rainbow Shores.
