1942 Map of Cape Vincent South

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The Tibbets Point Lighthouse stands at the strategic meeting point of the St Lawrence River and Lake Ontario, marking the entrance to the Great Lakes shipping channels. This 1942 survey captures a landscape defined by its maritime geography and rural educational structure, featuring numerous district schools such as School No 12 and School No 16 scattered across the mainland and offshore on Grenadier Island. The transport network of the era is anchored by the New York Central railroad terminus at Cape Vincent and the coastal Pleasant Valley Road. Notable for genealogists and local historians are the specific landforms like Long Carrying Place, which suggests historical portage routes between the river and the expansive Chaumont Bay to the south.
