Lake Ontario dominates this 1943 survey, where the shoreline of the town of Sterling meets the water at West Ninemile Point. This World War II-era map was produced by the War Department and the Corps of Engineers using photography and methods from the Tennessee Valley Authority. It reveals a landscape defined by natural topography and local infrastructure, including the drainage of Ninemile Cr and the presence of School No 12 serving the rural community. The map provides a precise look at the orchards, vineyards, and dense woodlands that characterized this portion of Cayuga County during the early 1940s. Transportation through this lakefront region is anchored by the primary routes of the day, including the thoroughfares now known as U. S. Route 104 and State Route 48.
