1895 Map of Stony Island

USGS Topo · Published 1940

About this map

The waters of eastern Lake Ontario dominate this late-nineteenth-century survey, revealing a chain of islands and peninsulas critical to the maritime history of Jefferson County. Navigational safety is highlighted by the presence of Galloo Id. L.H. and Stony Point L.H., marking the approaches to the mainland. The internal geography of these landmasses is captured in surprising detail, from the sheltered North Pond and Gill Harbor on Galloo Island to the isolated Dutch John Bay on Stony Island. On the mainland, the township of Henderson meets the lake at the prominent Stony Point, where a sparse network of early roads connects the shoreline to the interior. This reconnaissance-level map provides a clear record of the coastline before mid-century changes, documenting the natural harbors and smaller outcroppings like Little Galloo Id. and Calf Id. that defined the treacherous waters of this island passage.
