About this map

Sodus Bay defines the northern reaches of this Wayne County landscape, where the irregular shoreline at Nicholas Point and Willigs Point meets the agricultural interior. The map illustrates a settled rural network of hamlets and farmsteads, including Alasa Farms and Rockland Orchards Farm. The distribution of burial grounds, such as the Espenschied Cem and the York Settlement Cem near York, provides significant data points for genealogists tracking early families in the region.

Transportation corridors like Ridge Rd connect several small hubs, from Alton in the west to North Rose and Rose in the east. Numerous small waterways, including First Cr and Sodus Cr, drain the glacial drumlin topography toward the Great Lakes system. The survey documents a mix of lakeside residential areas like Sunset View and established farming communities such as Wayne Center, reflecting the dual character of this lake-adjacent territory.
