1895 Map of Cape Vincent

USGS Topo · Published 1899

About this map

Cape Vincent serves as a critical maritime gateway in the late nineteenth century, situated where the St. Lawrence River meets the vast waters of Lake Ontario. This 1893 survey reveals a landscape defined by the international boundary between the United States and Canada, with the industrial and transit hub of Kingston visible on the northern shore. The era's heavy reliance on water and rail transport is evident through the path of the Steamboat Company and the terminus of the R. W. and O. R. R. Cape Vincent Branch. Across the river, Long Island dominates the channel, flanked by smaller landmasses like Grenadier Id. and Carleton Id.. Essential maritime navigation aids including Tibbetts Pt. L.H. and Brown Pt. L.H. anchor the points of the mainland, marking the transition from river navigation to open lake travel.
