Place Names

Piper's Corner (just east of Bonners'), so named for a Dan Gallagher called Piper. P. 141.

Cheyenne Pt. - no one seems to know the origin of this name, but Lawrence says perhaps it was named by some of the men who worked in the West. When the waters were temporarily fished out one year some of the men (the 2 Greenes, among others) worked on the RR that was building west out of the Sault. It went clear to the far west.
McCauley's Pt. - Owen McCauley fished here with pond nets.
Iron Ore Bay - an ore ship wrecked here & the cargo washed ashore.
Appleby Pt. - just east of the Lighthouse at the Head.
