About this map

The Oswegatchie River meanders through the northwest corner of this St. Lawrence County landscape, defining a rural territory characterized by small crossroads settlements and an intricate network of waterways. Small clusters like De Kalb, DeKalb Junction, and East De Kalb serve as the primary anchors for the area, connected by a web of county roads and historic routes such as Old Northern Rd.

Genealogists will find interest in the documented locations of the East DeKalb Cem and West Hermon Cem, which sit among family-named landmarks like Kents Corners and Moss Ridge. The drainage patterns of Indian Creek, Tanner Creek, and Boland Creek dictate the local geography, illustrating the hydrological layout of the region as it transitioned into the modern era. This survey provides a precise look at the rural infrastructure and residential distribution within the Bigelow quadrangle.
