About this map

The Oswegatchie River defines the industrial and residential heart of this Saint Lawrence County landscape, winding through the village of Gouverneur and passing through the distinctive Natural Dam area. The river's path is closely tied to the region's development, fueling several hamlets including Hailesboro and providing a backdrop for local landmarks like the Gouverneur Fair Grounds. To the south, the terrain becomes increasingly complex with prominent elevations such as Reservoir Hill and Poplar Hill overlooking the recreational waters of Sylvia Lake.

Genealogists can trace several significant burial sites across the township, from the centrally located Riverside Cemetery and Saint James Cemetery to the more remote West Fowler Cemetery. The map also captures the layout of smaller crossroads settlements such as Fowler, West Fowler, and Balmat, reflecting the area's rural character and transportation network along routes like Scotch Settlement Rd and the Emeryville Rd.
