About this map

The Grass River and Raquette River define the industrial and social layout of this northern St. Lawrence County landscape just before the First World War. Canton serves as a primary hub where the New York Central and Hudson River railroad crosses the water, facilitating the movement of goods and people. Further north, Potsdam and Norwood emerge as key settlements along the riverbanks, surrounded by a dense network of smaller farming communities and family-named landmarks like Burnham Corners and Casey Corners.
