1895 Map of Stony Island

USGS Topo · Published 1895

About this map

The maritime landscape of eastern Lake Ontario is captured here during the late nineteenth century, focusing on the isolated island chain within the township of Hounsfield. Navigational safety for the era's bustling lake traffic is evidenced by the prominence of the Galloup Id. L.H. and Stony Point L.H. beacons. These islands, including Stony Island and Galloup Island, feature small indentations like Dutch John Bay and Gill Harbor that provided vital shelter for vessels. On the mainland, the map details the rugged shoreline of Henderson near Stony Point, where a sparse road network meets the water's edge. This 1893 survey by W.H. Lovell provides an essential record of these Jefferson County islands before modern development, highlighting the natural geography and light stations that guided mariners into the Saint Lawrence River passage.
