1906 Map of Red Mills

About this map

The St Lawrence River serves as the international boundary on this survey, separating the Dominion of Canada and Ontario from Lisbon and Waddington in New York. The river landscape is dominated by complex islands and hazardous water, most notably the Galop Rapids and the large Galop Island. Smaller landforms such as Lotus I, Baycraft I, and Lame Squaw I dot the channel. On the Canadian side, the Grand Trunk RR follows the shoreline through Cardinal and Iroquois. On the American shore, small settlements like Red Mills, Tilden, and Boice are connected by a network of rural roads. The inclusion of the Toussaint Canal reflects the importance of maritime navigation around the river's swifter currents during the early 20th century.
