2013 Map of Sodus Point

About this map

Sodus Point anchors this coastal survey, where the waters of Lake Ontario meet the complex shoreline of Sodus Bay. The landscape is defined by its maritime heritage and recreational geography, featuring the historic Sodus Point Lighthouse alongside the Sodus Outer Light and East Pier Light that guide vessels into the harbor. The bay itself is dotted with prominent landforms including Newark Island, Eagle Island, and Le Roy Island, illustrating a terrain shaped by glacial activity and lake currents. To the east, the dramatic elevations of Chimney Bluff overlook the shoreline near East Bay. This modern record of Wayne County captures the transition from active maritime commerce to a landscape of seasonal camps and agriculture, noted by features like the Thorpe Vineyard and the Lake Bluff Campground situated near the quiet settlement of Lake Bluff.
