1903 Map of Alexandria Bay

About this map

The St. Lawrence River dominates this early twentieth-century survey, carving a complex boundary between the United States and the Dominion of Canada. The Thousand Islands region appears in intricate detail, showing established summer communities and clusters such as Westminster Park, the Manhattan Group, and St. Lawrence Park. On the mainland, the village of Alexandria Bay serves as a hub for river traffic, while the interior of the town of Alexandria is defined by a series of long, narrow glacial lakes, including Butterfield Lake, Clear Lake, and Millsite Lake.
