1964 Map of Morrisburg

About this map

Morrisburg serves as a focal point along the northern shore of the St Lawrence River in this mid-1960s survey. The landscape is defined by the massive hydroelectric and seaway infrastructure of Lake St Lawrence, where submerged shoals like Doran Shoal and Goose Neck Island Shoals hint at the river's original character before the seaway's construction. Inland, the rural townships of Williamsburgh and Matilda are dotted with small settlements such as Glen Becker and Muttonville. The industrial and transportation corridors are clearly marked by the Canadian National railway and the Macdonald-Cartier Freeway, which cut through the landscape north of the river. To the south, across the international boundary, the shorelines of Waddington and Louisville appear, highlighting the shared geography of this border region.
