1943 Map of Murphy Island

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

St. Lawrence River dominates this 1943 survey, marking the international boundary between the United States and Canada. Along the northern shore in Ontario, the town of Morrisburg serves as a focal point near the Rapide Plat Canal, a vital piece of inland maritime infrastructure before the mid-century seaway expansions. The landscape is a mix of agricultural clearings and dense brush, with small settlements like Williamsburg and Froatsburn connected by a network of rural roads and the Canadian National railway line. South of the river in Waddington, New York, the terrain is defined by low-lying islands and wetlands, including the large Ogden Island and the smaller Murphy Island. Local landmarks such as School No 7 and the Golf Course near Morrisburg highlight the social and recreational footprint of these riverfront communities during the early 1940s.
