1902 Map of Sodus Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

Sodus Bay and the jagged southern shoreline of Lake Ontario define this 1899 survey, documenting the maritime and agricultural landscape of Wayne County at the turn of the century. The map highlights the complex geography of the bay, including Big Sodus L.H. and a cluster of islands such as Arran I., Islay I., and Bute I.. The interior landscape is marked by a distinctive drumlin topography, where glacial ridges dictate the drainage patterns of Mudge Creek, Beaver Creek, and Wolcott Creek. Small lakeside settlements like Sodus Point and Lake Bluff appear as established points of commerce and recreation, while the townships of Huron and Wolcott show a network of rural roads connecting isolated farmsteads. This survey captures the region's natural harbors and inlets, including East Bay and Port Bay, before modern shoreline modifications and development altered the coastal fringe.
