About this map

Black Lake dominates this mid-century survey of St. Lawrence County, stretching through the center of the map and defining the local geography with features like Upper Big Bay, Jennies Island, and Mitchell Bay. Small farming communities and rural intersections characterize the settlement pattern, including Edwardsville and Oak Point. The map reflects a deeply rooted landscape of family-named roads and landmarks, where community life centered around places like the Stone Ch and the Scotch Bush Grange.

The shoreline along the St Lawrence River in the northwest, near Brooks Pt, shows a contrast to the interior's network of country roads. Local infrastructure is marked by several Sand and Gravel Pits and historic burial sites such as Davies Cem. The township boundaries of Morristown, Oswegatchie, De Peyster, and Macomb converge here, illustrating the complex jurisdictional lines that local genealogists and historians often navigate.
