2010 Map of Canton

About this map

Canton serves as the focal point of this North Country landscape, where the Grass River snakes through the village center. The area is defined by its educational and civic institutions, most notably the campus of Saint Lawrence University and nearby Hurlbut Field. Outside the village core, the map reveals a collection of smaller settlements like Pyrites and Eddy, connected by a network of rural roads and watercourses such as Little River and Harrison Creek. The geographic distribution of burial grounds, including Evergreen Cemetery, Fairview Cemetery, and Saint Marys Cemetery, provides significant data for genealogical research across the township. Further downstream, Rushton Falls marks a distinct point along the river's path, while the northern reaches include Upper Lake and the Norton Cemetery, illustrating the transition from the concentrated village center to the outlying agricultural and wooded regions of Saint Lawrence County.
