About this map

Lake Ontario defines the northern reaches of this coastal landscape, where the shoreline meets a network of local roads and quiet settlements in the mid-1970s. The map illustrates a rural and recreational character, with shoreline landmarks like Harrison Grove, Uneeda Beach, and Hopkins Beach signaling the area's seasonal appeal. Inland, the townships of Porter and Wilson are divided by a grid of named routes such as Dickersonville Road and Youngstown Road, which connect family farms and local institutions.

Community life is anchored by landmarks like the Filmore Chapel and the Halsted Cem, while the western edge transitions into the recreational space of Fourmile Creek State Park and the Niagara Frontier Country Club. The drainage of the land is visible through the meandering paths of Sixmile Creek and Twelvemile Creek, providing a detailed look at the drainage patterns before modern development altered the rural vistas.
