About this map

The Saint Lawrence River dominates this landscape, its waters punctuated by a dense collection of granite outcrops and forested isles. The settlement of Chippewa Bay serves as a focal point along the shoreline, where local travel is defined by narrow routes like Chippewa Point Rd and Indian Point Rd. The map reveals a complex aquatic geography of named hazards and landmarks, including Superior Shoal and Indian Chief Shoal, which have long challenged navigators along this international border region.

Inland from the riverbanks, the terrain transitions to a mix of wooded areas and agricultural plots, such as Denimor Farms. The distribution of named islands like Dark Island, Garden Island, and the Indian Chief Islands highlights the area's history as a prominent summer retreat and recreational waterway. This 2013 survey provides a clear view of the modern road network and coastal landings, including Schermerhorn Landing, that sustain the local community.
