1952 Map of Pultneyville

About this map

Pultneyville sits prominently on the southern shore of Lake Ontario, serving as the primary coastal settlement within the town of Williamson. Surveyed in the early 1950s, the map reveals an agricultural landscape heavily defined by its proximity to the water, where drainage features like Mink Creek and Salmon Creek cut through the terrain toward the lake. The rural interior is networked by roads named for local families and landmarks, such as Bear Swamp Road, Brasser Road, and Lonesome Road, reflecting a mid-century pattern of spread-out farmsteads and orchards. Along the immediate coastline, the Lake Road provides access to local geographic points like Fairbanks Point and the sheltered Holland Cove. For genealogists and local historians, the inclusion of Lakeview Cem near the lakefront provides a specific point for tracing early residents of this Wayne County community.
