1904 Map of Lisbon

About this map

St. Lawrence River dominates this early twentieth-century borderland survey, capturing the complex navigational landscape between the United States and Canada. The waterway is a maze of islands and maritime hazards, featuring the Galop Rapids and the protective Galop Canal on the Ontario side. On the New York shore, the settlement of Lisbon P. O. Red Mills serves as a local hub, while small clusters like Tilden and Boice dot the inland terrain. The northern bank is defined by the Grand Trunk R. R., which links border towns like Cardinal and Iroquois. This survey is particularly valuable for genealogists and river historians, as it documents the exact shoreline and island configurations—including Galop Island and numerous family-named points like Point Rockway—long before modern Seaway developments altered the river's character.
