About this map

The Oswegatchie River snakes through this St. Lawrence County landscape, anchoring industrial and residential settlements during the mid-to-late 20th century. In the village of Edwards, the presence of a High Sch and several burial grounds like Riverside Cem and Fairview Cem point to its role as a local hub. The map illustrates a shift in transportation infrastructure, showing the Conrail line operating alongside an Old Railroad Grade near Emeryville.

Resource extraction and conservation efforts define the surrounding terrain, with significant acreage dedicated to the Wolf Lake State Forest, Fire Fall State Forest, and Trout Lake State Forest. Industrial markers are evident near the river, including a Powerplant and a Tailings Pond near a labeled Chemical facility. Smaller hamlets like Fullerville and Taleville remain connected by rural roads, with the Fullerville Ch serving as a local landmark.
