About this map

The shoreline of Lake Ontario defines the northern edge of this coastal landscape in Wayne County, where the intricate geography of Maxwell Bay and Salmon Cr meets the water. Settlement is clustered around the lakefront, most notably at Idlewood On The Lake, reflecting the region’s long-standing draw as a seasonal and recreational destination. The interior landscape is marked by agricultural activity, specifically the Sodus Fruit Farm, and a network of roads that follow the early property lines of the town of Sodus.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial grounds mapped in the rural sections, including Centenary Cem, Swales Cem, and Bushnell Cem. The terrain is characterized by features such as Negro Hill and prominent overlooks like Sprong Bluff and Boller Point. Recreational sites like Camp Beechwood and the South Shore Recreational Vehicle Park illustrate the modern usage of the lakefront, while historic names like Bootleggers Point hint at the storied past of this Great Lakes borderland.
