About this map

Cape Vincent and the surrounding shoreline of Lake Ontario dominate this landscape during the mid-2010s. The geography is defined by the transition from the Saint Lawrence River into the vast open water, marked by prominent landmarks like Tibbetts Point and Wilson Point. This area features several significant islands, including Grenadier Island, Little Grenadier Island, and Fox Island, which sit offshore from Basin Harbor and Mud Bay. The interior is characterized by a network of rural roads such as Stone Quarry Rd and Deerlick Rd, connecting scattered settlements and historic sites.

Local heritage is anchored by landmarks like the Saint Vincent de Paul Cem and the Fox Creek Cem. The map illustrates the specialized coastal geography near The Isthmus and the narrow passage at Carrying Place, which historically served as vital transit points between larger bodies of water like Chaumont Bay. From the ballfields at John Gonzales Field to the residential pocket of North Shore, the sheet provides a detailed view of Jefferson County's waterfront character.
