1946 Map of Louisville

About this map

The St Lawrence River serves as the international boundary on this 1946 chart, dividing the Dominion of Canada and the United States. Along the northern shore in Ontario, the settlements of Aultsville and East Williamsburg stand adjacent to the Canadian railroad line and the Farran Point Canal. This area is particularly significant for genealogists, as it captures the landscape before the massive St. Lawrence Seaway project altered the river's shoreline and displaced several of these communities. On the New York side, the town of Louisville sits at the confluence where the Grass River meets smaller tributaries like Coles Creek. Local landmarks such as Bradford Cem, Wright Cem Lawrence Cem, and several rural schoolhouses like School No 13 and School No 2 provide essential markers for tracing family history and former homesteads across St Lawrence Co.
