About this map

Lake Ontario and the Saint Laurence River converge at this northern New York maritime landscape, where the coastline is defined by prominent landmarks like Tibbetts Point and Wilson Point. The shoreline geography is characterized by several large landmasses, including Grenadier Island and the smaller Little Grenadier Island, as well as the narrow neck of land known as The Isthmus.

Local settlement patterns are centered around small communities and crossroads such as Bedford Corners, Ponds Corners, and White Farms. Navigational history is marked by the Cape Vincent Breakwater Light at the river mouth. Genealogists can identify established burial sites like Saint Vincent de Paul Cem and Fox Creek Cem near Bayview. The inland area is drained by Kents Cr and Fox Cr, which flow through a mix of agricultural land and wooded terrain near Indian Hill.
