1903 Map of Alexandria Bay

About this map

The St. Lawrence River dominates this 1903 survey, defining the international border between the Dominion of Canada and the United States. This maritime landscape is defined by the labyrinthine channels of the Thousand Islands, including the large landmasses of Wells Island and Grindstone Island. Along the New York shore, the resort character of the era is evident at Alexandria Bay and established seasonal communities like Westminster Park, St. Lawrence Park, and Point Vivian.
