2016 Map of Point Peninsula

About this map

Point Peninsula reaches into the eastern waters of Lake Ontario, defining a landscape where the lake dominates both the geography and local nomenclature. This 2016 survey illustrates the rugged coastal character of Jefferson County, where the mainland is separated from significant offshore features like Stony Island and the smaller Calf Island. The presence of Dutch John Bay and Toad Hole suggests a shoreline shaped by shallow inlets and protective coves, essential for maritime navigation in this part of the Great Lakes. Settlement patterns are focused along the coast, evidenced by local routes such as S Shore Rd and Luff Shores Ln, which service the residences and recreational facilities like Dels Boat-Basin. This map provides a detailed view of the littoral zone, tracing the contours of Stony Point and the surrounding basins that have long supported seasonal and year-round inhabitants.
