About this map

Sackets Harbor serves as the primary eastern focal point of this coastal survey, where the village meets the eastern shores of Lake Ontario. The shoreline is defined by a series of prominent peninsulas and landings, including Point Peninsula and Pillar Point, which shelter the waters of Sherwin Bay and Black River Bay. A notable maritime legacy is evident at Navy Point and the Sackets Harbor Lighthouse, landmarks that signify the area's strategic importance on the Great Lakes.

Genealogists and local historians can trace family locations through several inland burial sites, such as Ingerson Cemetery, Stone Cemetery, and Ferry Cemetery. The map captures a landscape shaped by water, from the small islands like Horse Island and Association Island to the recreational hubs at Grunerts Marina and Boultons Beach. The southwestern corner is anchored by the landforms of Stony Point and Snowshoe Bay, illustrating the varied topography of this Jefferson County waterfront.
