1900 Map of Wilson

USGS Topo · Published 1912

About this map

Lake Ontario defines the northern edge of this Niagara County landscape, where the shoreline meets a network of fruit-growing country and small hamlets at the turn of the century. The village of Wilson serves as the primary hub, situated where Twelvemile Creek flows into the lake. Inland, the arrival of the Rome Watertown and Ogdensburg Railroad reshaped the local economy, connecting Wilson Station to broader markets. The terrain is marked by the steady paths of Steins Creek and Hopkins Creek, which drain the agricultural lands of Porter, Wilson, and Newfane townships. This survey, conducted under the direction of George Otis Smith, captures the settlement patterns of North Wilson and the surrounding farmsteads before the modern expansion of the lakefront, offering a look at the rural infrastructure of the era.
