About this map

Black Lake dominates the central landscape of this St. Lawrence County survey, serving as a focal point for several small lakeside settlements and recreational areas. Along its northern shores, Edwardsville sits near a narrow crossing point, while further inland, the agricultural character of the region is defined by a dense network of roads such as English Settlement Road and Scotch Bush Road. These routes connect dispersed community landmarks like the Scotch Bush Grange and the Stone Ch Cem.

In the northern reaches, the St Lawrence River forms the international boundary with Canada, while the interior reveals the remnants of earlier transportation infrastructure, notably an Old RR Grade cutting through Morristown. The transition from the river valley to the more varied terrain of Oswegatchie and Macomb is marked by numerous water bodies, including Upper Big Bay and Mitchell Bay, which shaped the early development and land use of these rural townships.
