1958 Map of Cape Vincent North

About this map

The St Lawrence River serves as a wide international corridor here, marking the boundary between New York and Ontario. Along the southern shore, Cape Vincent thrives as a maritime hub, supported by a U S Coast Guard Station and a Fish Hatchery. The landscape is dominated by large river islands, including Wolfe Island and Carleton Island, which are characterized by numerous coves like Irvine Bay and Murray Bay. On the New York mainland, an Old Railroad Grade runs parallel to the river, a remnant of former transportation networks that connected the river ports to the interior. Local history is preserved in several burial grounds, such as Riverside Cem and St Vincent de Paul Cem, while Burnham Point State Park offers a public look at the shoreline just north of the village.
