1948 Map of Chippewa Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1948

About this map

The St Lawrence River serves as the international boundary between Ontario and New York in this post-war survey, revealing the intricate cluster of islands that define this riverine landscape. On the Canadian side, the Canadian National railroad and Canadian Route 2 parallel the shoreline near Mallorytown, supporting a network of river access points like Mallorytown Landing. The American shore is anchored by the community of Chippewa Bay, where Chippewa Creek meets the water. Navigation remains a primary concern of the era, evidenced by the strategic placement of the Bridge Island Lighthouse, Superior Shoal Lighthouse, and Sister Island Lighthouse. Further inland on the New York side, rural infrastructure such as School No 6 and various landings like Schermerhorn Landing show the localized nature of the river economy before modern expansion.
