1895 Map of Cape Vincent

USGS Topo · Published 1895

About this map

The waters of the St. Lawrence River and Lake Ontario converge at this late nineteenth-century maritime crossroads, where the international border separates New York from Canada. The township of Cape Vincent serves as a vital terminal for the R. W. and O. R. R. Cape Vincent Branch, connecting rail traffic to the river's Steamboat Company routes. Across the Bateau Channel, the massive profile of Long Island dominates the river, featuring the settlement of Marysville and a small Canal. Navigation for the heavy river traffic is guided by the Tibbetts Pt. L.H. and Brown Pt. L.H. lighthouses. Further north, the street grid of Kingston is visible near the mouth of the Gt. Cataraqui River, while numerous islands like Grenadier Id. and Carleton Id. dot the expansive bays.
