About this map

The St Lawrence River and the sprawling waters of Black Lake dominate this 1943 survey of St. Lawrence County, showing a landscape defined by its waterways and rural township divisions. The community of Edwardsville sits at the narrow crossing between the lake’s main body and its southern reach, near Booths Island and Jennies Island. Further north, the New York Central railroad cuts a diagonal line across the terrain, passing through Morristown Center on its way toward the riverfront.

Rural infrastructure is exceptionally detailed, featuring a dense network of country schools ranging from School No 10 to School No 15, which served the scattered farmsteads of Oswegatchie, Morristown, and De Peyster. Family history is anchored by landmarks like the Davies Cem and the Stone Church at the junction of Stone Church Road and Middle Road, illustrating the established social fabric of these North Country townships during the mid-century.
