1895 Map of Cape Vincent

USGS Topo · Published 1907

About this map

Cape Vincent serves as a critical maritime gateway where the St. Lawrence River meets the vast expanse of Lake Ontario. This late-19th-century survey documents the strategic international border between the Dominion of Canada and the United States, tracing the Boundary Line through the intricate channels and islands of the Thousand Islands region. On the New York shore, the N. Y. C. and H. R. R.R. Cape Vincent Branch terminates at the river's edge, facilitating a robust transfer point for the Steamboat Company. Across the Bateau Channel, Long Island dominates the northern half of the map with its large land grants and the settlement of Marysville. Essential navigation aids like Tibbetts Pt. L.H. and Brown Pt. L.H. mark the treacherous points for vessels moving between Kingston and the open lake, while interior drainages like Mud Creek and Fox Creek flow toward the sheltered Chaumont Bay.
