2016 Map of Cape Vincent North

About this map

Cape Vincent sits at the southwestern gateway to the Saint Lawrence River, marking a critical juncture where Lake Ontario meets the river's start. This international border region is dominated by Carleton Island, which holds a commanding position over the river channels and bays such as North Bay and South Bay. The landscape transition from the village streets of W Broadway and E Joseph St to the surrounding rural reaches is punctuated by historic local burying grounds, including Judd Cem, Riverside Cem, and Saint Vincent de Paul Cem. Nautical hazards like Hinckley Flats Shoal and Feather Bed Shoal define the navigational challenges of the waterway near the Canada-United States boundary. Shoreline indentations like Poplar Tree Bay and Grass Bay reflect the intricate coastline of the river as it flows past the interior's pastoral road network, including the curiously named Hell St.
