About this map

The Saint Lawrence Seaway forms a vital international corridor through this reach, where the boundary between Canada and the United States follows the deep water of the Saint-Lawrence River. The construction of the Iroquois Dam significantly altered this landscape, creating the expansive Lake Saint Lawrence above it. This engineering feat shaped the modern shoreline, defining prominent landmarks like Rockway Point and Sparrowhawk Point.

Away from the industrial scale of the river, the interior reveals a network of local roads and quiet settlements such as Pine Grove. Genealogists and local historians can find several established burial grounds near the water, including Union Cemetery, O'Neill Cemetery, and Livingston Cemetery. The topography is further marked by the courses of Sucker Brook and Squaw Creek, which drain into the main river channel.
