1964 Map of Cornwall West

About this map

Lake St Lawrence and the massive Moses-Saunders Dam anchor this mid-1960s borderlands survey, capturing the industrial and navigational transformation of the international boundary. The St Lawrence River corridor is defined by complex infrastructure, including the Canal and several large islands like Barnhart Island and Sheek Island. North of the border, the landscape of Ontario's Stormont County transitions from the urban street grid of Cornwall—featuring named ways such as Rosemount St and Dover St—to a rural interior dotted with numerous gravel pits and quarries. The transportation network is in a period of high development, shown through the path of the Macdonald-Cartier Freeway and the Canadian National Railroad. Local commerce and community life are marked by landmarks like a drive-in theater and the St Andrews West Post Office.
