1958 Map of Point Peninsula

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Stony Island dominates the central waters of Lake Ontario in this 1958 topographic study, revealing a secluded landscape defined by its isolated Airstrip and a small Cem overlooking the eastern shore. The map illustrates the specialized maritime and pastoral character of Jefferson County's coastal reaches, where Dutch John Bay provides a natural harbor for the island. To the north, the massive landform of Point Peninsula shows a network of local transit including Middle Road and South Shore Road, serving localized points such as Cooper. On the mainland at the foot of the map, the settlement of Gleason sits near the rocky protrusion of Stony Point, emphasizing the rugged relationship between the shoreline communities and the lake. This survey captures the transition of these remote islands and peninsulas from agricultural use toward more modern recreational and utility roles in the mid-20th century.
