1903 Map of Alexandria Bay

About this map

Alexandria Bay serves as the focal point for this Thousand Islands study, positioned where the St. Lawrence River meets a complex archipelago along the Dominion of Canada United States boundary. The landscape transitions from the dense island clusters of Wells Island and Grenadier Island to a mainland interior defined by a series of elongated glacial lakes. These water bodies, including Butterfield Lake, Millsite Lake, and Sixberry Lake, are hemmed in by the characteristic rocky ridges of the region, flowing toward the Indian River.
