About this map

The St. Lawrence River corridor serves as a prominent international divide on this mid-century survey, separating the Thousand Islands of New York from the Canadian townships of Front of Yonge and Front of Escott. The settlement of Alexandria Bay sits at the heart of the American shoreline, surrounded by numerous recreational and seasonal landmarks such as Westminster Park on Wellesley Island and the Pooles Resort on the mainland.

Inland, the landscape transitions to a dense network of water bodies and rural hamlets. Researchers can trace the layout of small villages like Redwood and Plessis, alongside a series of numbered schools including School No 19 and School No 6. Significant water features such as Butterfield Lake and Clear Lake define the southeastern quadrant, while family-named landmarks like Browne Corners and local burial grounds including Omar Cem and Hill Cem provide specific points of interest for genealogical study.
