1943 Map of Sparrowhawk Point

About this map

St Lawrence River serves as the international boundary on this mid-century survey, dividing New York from Ontario. Along the northern bank, the Galop Canal and the Canadian National railroad parallel the shore through the village of Iroquois. On the American side, the landscape is defined by its rural infrastructure, featuring a high density of local schoolhouses and country churches. Family legacy is preserved in locations like Livingston Cem and Brown Ch, while the agricultural character of the towns of Madrid and Lisbon is etched into the grid of Dezell Road and Middle Road. The map also captures the river's complex archipelago before major seaway developments, documenting Toussaint Island, Lotus Island, and Lalone Island in their pre-modern configuration.
