2016 Map of Murphy Islands

About this map

Morrisburg stands as a primary focal point along the international border in this 2016 survey of the Saint Lawrence River corridor. The map details the expansive waters of Lake St. Lawrence, a reservoir created by the power and seaway projects of the mid-20th century. This hydrographic landscape is defined by the Saint Lawrence Seaway channel, which serves as a vital artery for maritime commerce between the Great Lakes and the Atlantic. On the New York side, Coles Creek State Park occupies the shoreline, providing a glimpse into the recreational development of the riverfront. Navigation hazards and submerged features are meticulously charted, including the Goose Neck Islands Shoals, Murphy Shoal, and Clark Island Shoal, alongside the visible Murphy Islands.
