About this map

The Oswegatchie River and its West Branch anchor this portion of Saint Lawrence County, where small industrial and residential settlements follow the water's course. The Village of Edwards serves as a primary hub, while downstream the community of Emeryville sits near Emeryville Falls. Further south, the map reveals the layout of Fullerville and the distinct area known as Fullerville Sands, illustrating a landscape shaped by both hydrology and early settlement patterns. Several water features including Trout Lake, Wolf Lake, and Moon Lake dominate the northern and central sections, suggesting a region where the natural environment and local hamlets are closely integrated.

Local history and genealogy interests are well-served by the presence of multiple burial sites, such as Riverside Cem and Fairview Cem near Edwards, and the Gulf Cem to the southwest. The mapping of Hazleton Falls and Fullerville Falls highlights the importance of river drops, which historically provided the power necessary for the development of small New York mill towns and settlements like Talceville.
