2013 Map of Wilson

About this map

The Niagara County shoreline meets Lake Ontario at the harbor of Wilson, a focal point for maritime activity defined by Tuscarora Bay and protected by Tugwells Island. Along the coast, a string of lakeside communities including Sunset Beach, Roosevelt Beach, and Coolidge Beach illustrate the area's development as a waterfront destination. Inland, the landscape transitions into agricultural terrain drained by Twelvemile Cr and its tributaries, where the grid of rural roads connects established hamlets like North Wilson and Pleasant Corners. Local history and infrastructure are represented by the Greenwood Cem and the Village of Wilson Water Works, while the Pierhead Light 2 marks the critical entrance to the harbor. The presence of Hollands International Field Airport in the south underscores the modern utility of this primarily rural and coastal region.
