1954 Map of West Ninemile Point

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Lake Ontario dominates this 1954 hydrographic and topographic survey, which captures a quiet stretch of the Cayuga County shoreline before modern lakeside development. The shoreline is defined by the prominent West Ninemile Point, where the land abruptly meets the depths of the lake. To the south, the settlement of Moon Beach sits nestled near the mouth of Ninemile Creek, which winds through a significant Marsh area before reaching the open water. This map illustrates the rural character of the Sterling boundary during the mid-1950s, highlighting a network of local thoroughfares such as Dogwood Road and Wheeler Road that connected the scattered coastal residences. The depth soundings throughout the lake provide a detailed look at the underwater topography as recorded by the U. S. Lake Survey during this era.
