About this map

Cape Vincent marks the northern extent of this coastline where the eastern edge of Lake Ontario meets the head of the Saint Lawrence River. The landscape is defined by its irregular shoreline, featuring prominent headlands like Tibbetts Point and Dablon Point, and numerous sheltered inlets including Fuller Bay, Wilson Bay, and Mud Bay. These waters wrap around several significant landmasses, most notably Grenadier Island and the sprawling Point Peninsula to the south.

Inland, the rural character of Jefferson County is evident through a network of secondary roads and local landmarks. Genealogists and historians can locate the Saint Vincent de Paul Cem near the northern boundary and the Fox Creek Cem further south. Waterways such as Kents Cr and Fox Cr drain the interior, while Indian Hill provides a modest elevation point overlooking the Chaumont Bay region. The mapping of The Isthmus and Carrying Place indicates historically significant transit points between the larger bays and the open lake.
