About this map

Lake Ontario dominates the northern expanse of this survey, defining a coastline shaped by dramatic headlands and seasonal settlements. The shoreline transitions from the industrial proximity of Ninemile Point in the west through a series of lakefront communities, including Shore Oaks, Hickory Grove, and Demster Beach. These areas are characterized by a dense network of short, coastal access roads like Hickory Grove Dr and Dempster Beach Dr, reflecting the area's development as a waterfront retreat.

Further east, the landscape opens into Mexico Bay, where the Little Salmon River meets the lake near the historic Texas settlement. Significant ecological features like the Butterfly Swamp and its associated Butterfly Creek sit alongside sites of local historical interest, such as the Parker Ramsey Stevens Cem. The topography is defined by low-lying wetlands and small drainages like Otter Cr and Catfish Cr that cut through the coastal plain before reaching the great lake.
