About this map

Wellesley Island dominates this section of the Saint Lawrence River, bisected by the international boundary between New York and Canada. The map illustrates a densely populated riverine landscape, where historic summer colonies like Thousand Island Park and Grandview Park are reached by a network of local roads such as Thousand Island Park Rd and Nature Center Rd. The intricate shoreline of the Lake of the Isles and Eel Bay highlights the complex geography that made this region a prominent seasonal destination.

Smaller island communities and landings are detailed throughout the American Narrows, including Grenell, Frontenac, and Fishers Landing. Notable land features like Grindstone Island and Picton Island sit across the water from Wellesley Island State Park, which preserves a large portion of the eastern island. This survey provides an exact look at the modern layout of these islands, tracing the distribution of individual docks, seasonal cottages, and prominent landmarks like Rock Island and Murray Isle.
