2010 Map of Sixmile Creek

About this map

Lake Ontario defines the northern reaches of this Niagara County landscape, where the shoreline is punctuated by small clusters like Hopkins Beach, Uneeda Beach, and Harrison Grove. Moving inland, the terrain transition is marked by the winding courses of Sixmile Creek and Twelvemile Creek, which drain the agricultural and residential lands of Porter. The settlement pattern here is anchored by small historical crossroads such as Porter Center and Tryonville, connected by a grid of local thoroughfares including Youngstown Wilson Rd and Ransonville Rd. For those researching local history or genealogy, the map provides precise locations for Oakland Cemetery and Halsted Cemetery, offering a detailed look at the rural character of this region as it appeared in the early 21st century. The map also traces the path of the Robert Moses Pkwy as it skims the lakefront, illustrating the transportation infrastructure serving this coastal community.
