2010 Map of Lake Bonaparte

About this map

Lake Bonaparte anchors the southeastern landscape of this Saint Lawrence County survey, where complex shorelines and numerous islands define the local geography. The area's glacial heritage is evident in the dense concentration of water bodies, from larger basins like Sylvia Lake and Indian Lake to smaller features such as Snake Pond and Mud Pond. Human settlement is characterized by small rural clusters and crossroads, including Balmat in the north and Alpina near the lake’s northwestern edge. The Indian River and Bonaparte Creek weave through a network of lowlands, connecting various ponds and marshes like Marsh Pond and Benton Pond. This map details the established land-water interface at the beginning of the 21st century, showing named landforms like Bentons Point and Bullrock Point that have likely served as local landmarks for generations of residents and visitors.
