1911 Map of Canton

USGS Topo · Published 1939

About this map

The Grass River and Raquette River define the industrial and agricultural landscape of St. Lawrence County in this early twentieth-century survey. The village of Canton serves as a central hub, where the New York Central railroad and Hudson River lines intersect, supporting a network of outlying hamlets. Small settlements like Slab City, Bucks Bridge, and Morley are linked by a web of rural roads, reflecting a period of established river-based commerce and upland farming. Evidence of community life is found in scattered landmarks such as Brick Chapel, Beach Plains Church, and several rural Cemeteries. To the south, the terrain rises toward Waterman Hill, where the landscape shifts from the broad river valleys of Madrid and Potsdam into the more varied topography of Russell and Pierrepont, marked by tributary flows like Little River and Trout Brook.
