2019 Map of Colton

About this map

The Raquette River dominates the landscape of Saint Lawrence County, winding north through the settlements of South Colton, Colton, and Hannawa Falls. This 2019 survey documents the river's significant hydraulic role, showing the Warm Brook Flow and the drop at Higley Falls. The map reveals a high concentration of burial grounds necessary for genealogical research, including Riverside Cem near the riverbanks and the more interior Saint Patrick Cem. Small hamlets like West Parishville, Willisville, and High Flats appear along the secondary road network, connected by routes such as Pumpkin Hill Rd and Butternut Ridge Rd. The terrain is defined by a series of brooks, such as Stafford Brook and O'Malley Brook, which feed the main river corridor through this forested region of Northern New York.
