1942 Map of Cape Vincent North

USGS Topo · Published 1942

About this map

The St Lawrence River serves as the international boundary in this 1942 survey, dividing the village of Cape Vincent in New York from the large Canadian landmasses of Wolfe Island and Howe Island. The map illustrates a strategic maritime corridor, highlighted by the Carleton Lighthouse on Carleton Island and the Gaging Sta along the riverbank. This wartime-era documentation, compiled with assistance from the Tennessee Valley Authority, provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure on the American shore, including School No 13 and School No 5. Local genealogy is well-served by the inclusion of Riverside Cem and Judd Cem, while the shoreline features recreation and conservation at Burnham Pt State Park and Poplar Tree Bay. The intricate coastal geography is defined by numerous points and bays, such as Alexandria Point and Bayfield Bay, reflecting the region's historical reliance on river transport and fishing.
