1958 Map of Stony Point

About this map

Stony Point dominates this shoreline where the townships of Henderson and Hounsfield meet. The 1950s landscape is defined by its maritime infrastructure and a network of rural routes, including the prominent Military Road and Carter Road. Navigational safety is marked by a Lighthouse perched on the western edge of the point, overlooking the deep waters of Lake Ontario. The jagged coast reveals a succession of sheltered waters such as Gravely Bay, Boomer Cove, and Ray Bay, which separate the mainland from features like Clark Point. This survey captures the area's transition from the open lake to the dense terrain of Jefferson County, providing an exact look at the road systems and shoreline before later development. The inclusion of Calf Island to the north and the soundings throughout the bays offer a precise view of the coastal topography as it existed in the mid-20th century.
