1964 Map of Waddington

About this map

Waddington and the international boundary along the St Lawrence River define this mid-1960s landscape, just years after the massive Seaway projects transformed the northern shoreline. The map documents the newly created Lake St Lawrence and Ogden Island, with local recreation centered at Waddington Beach. Moving inland from the river, the area transitions into a network of small agricultural settlements and rural intersections named for early families, including Henrys Corners, Drews Corner, and Wagners Corners. Local history and genealogy are preserved through several sites such as Brookside Cem and St Marys Ch. The interior is drained by meandering waterways like Sucker Brook and Brandy Brook, while the southern portion of the quadrangle reaches the village of Madrid along the Grass River, featuring the Madrid-Waddington High Sch.
