2023 Map of Chippewa Bay

About this map

Chippewa Bay serves as a focal point for this shoreline study, where the Saint Lawrence River creates an intricate archipelago of granite islands and shoals along the international border with Canada. The landscape is defined by its deep maritime character, featuring numerous named landforms like Indian Chief Islands and Peach Island that dot the river channel. Along the New York mainland, the settlement patterns follow the winding path of the river, with Little Hammond Point and Allens Point reaching into the water. Further inland, the terrain is shaped by Crooked Creek and the sheltered waters of Goose Bay, illustrating the transition from the river's main channel to the wetland-rich basins. This documentation tracks the modern road network, including River Rd and Calaboga Rd, that connects these historic riverfront communities.
