2016 Map of Sodus Point

About this map

Sodus Point anchors this coastal survey, where the deep waters of Lake Ontario meet the complex shoreline of Sodus Bay. The map highlights a series of prominent landforms and islands that define the local geography, including Charles Point, Sand Point, and the distinct elevations of Chimney Bluff and Knob Island. Further east, the small settlements of Lake Bluff and East Bay Park sit near the mouth of East Bay, while inland, the rural community of North Huron is situated near the winding course of Mudge Creek. The intricate network of islands within the bay, such as Newark Island, Eagle Island, Hog Island, and Le-Roy Island, illustrates a landscape heavily shaped by post-glacial deposition and lake levels. This 2016 record details the modern residential and recreational layout of the Wayne County shoreline, from the marinas and streets of the point to the seasonal camps and marshes like Root Swamp.
