1965 Map of Wilson

About this map

Lake Ontario defines the northern edge of this Niagara County landscape, where the village of Wilson sits at the mouth of Twelvemile Creek. The mid-1960s shoreline is marked by seasonal and residential clusters including Sunset Beach, Roosevelt Beach, and Coolidge Beach, centered around the protected waters of Tuscarora Bay. This bay serves as a focal point for local recreation and infrastructure, featuring Tuscarora Park and a nearby Sewage Disposal plant. Inland, the landscape transitions to a rural agricultural pattern defined by a grid of local roads like Daniels Road and Shadigee Road. Historical social centers are well-preserved in this record, including the Concordia Ch and Marks Sch, alongside family-named landmarks and the Lakeview Airport. The presence of the New York Central Road corridor reflects the era's established transportation network connecting the lakeside community to the broader region.
