1897 Map of Ridgeway

USGS Topo · Published 1902

About this map

Lake Ontario borders the northern edge of this Lake Ontario shoreline survey, where the Thirtymile Pt. L.H. stands as a vital navigational landmark. The landscape is defined by the early transportation corridors of Orleans and Niagara counties, most notably the historic Ridge Road and the Erie Canal clipping the southern corner. Between the lake and the canal, the Rome Watertown and Ogdensburg R.R. connects rural agricultural hubs like Lyndonville and Millers. The drainage of the region is characterized by numerous north-flowing waterways such as Johnson Creek and Oak Orchard Creek, which carved deep valleys through the plain. Small crossroads and landing sites, including Kuckville, Waterport, and Carlyon, reveal the late 19th-century settlement patterns of a region deeply tied to both fruit farming and the commerce of the Great Lakes.
