1903 Map of Grindstone

About this map

The St. Lawrence River dominates this nautical landscape at the international border between Ontario and New York. The intricate archipelago of the Thousand Islands is captured during the early 20th-century resort era, highlighted by established Victorian-era summer colonies at Thousand Island Park and Frontenac. The geography is defined by significant landmasses like Grindstone Island and Howe Island, with the Canadian settlement of Gananoque visible on the northern shore.
