1958 Map of Thousand Island Park

About this map

The St Lawrence River serves as the international boundary on this 1958 survey, dividing the American and Canadian archipelagos. On the New York side, the Victorian-era resort character of Thousand Island Park is evident on Wellesley Island, surrounded by established riverfront communities like Fineview, Grenell, and the mainland hub of Fishers Landing. The intricate waterways of the Lake Fleet Islands and The Admiralty Islands are meticulously mapped, showing the complex navigation through The Narrows and Eel Bay. Local industrial history is noted by the Quarries on Picton Island, while conservation efforts are reflected in the early footprints of St Lawrence Islands National Park and Waterson Point Park. Small family sites, such as a Cem on Grindstone Island, provide valuable touchpoints for genealogists.
