2019 Map of Red Mills

About this map

Red Mills sits along the southern bank of the St Lawrence River, marking a point of transition where the river's international boundary separates the United States from Canada. The aquatic landscape is defined by large riverine features like Galop Island and Shoemaker Island, which dominate the channel near the border. Inland from the river's edge, the terrain is shaped by several small waterways including Sawmill Cr, Drivers Cr, and McLaughlin Cr, which drain into the main river system. This 2019 survey documents the modern road network in this borderland area, specifically identifying Wallace Rd and Ross Rd as they connect the riverfront settlement to the surrounding Saint Lawrence County interior. The cartography provides a clear look at the proximity between the northern New York shoreline and Benedict Island, reflecting the historical and ongoing importance of the Saint Lawrence River as both a corridor for transit and a definitive political boundary.
