About this map

The international border between Canada and the United States bisects this landscape, marked by the prominent Fort Covington Port of Entry and Dundee Canadian Customs. This color image map reveals a patchwork of agricultural fields and riverine wetlands at the northern edge of New York. The St Lawrence River dominates the northern portion of the sheet, dotted with numerous islands such as Stanley Island, Clark Island, and St Regis Island.

Inland, the village of Fort Covington sits at the confluence of the Salmon River and the Little Salmon River. The terrain is crisscrossed by rural routes like Mc Elwain Road and Pike Creek Road, while the Canadian National rail line traverses the southern township near the Salmon River Sch. This imagery provides a clear view of the drainage patterns and land use in this borderland community during the late 1970s.
