2016 Map of Hammond

About this map

Hammond and its surrounding hamlets occupy a landscape shaped by the Saint Lawrence River to the north and the complex water network of Black Lake to the east. This 2016 survey shows the enduring rural layout of St. Lawrence County, where small settlements like Rossie, Oakvale, and Cedars are connected by a web of county roads and family-named routes such as Newell Rd and Toland Rd. The interior is marked by significant marshlands and drainage basins, including Black Creek and Chippewa Creek, which define the agricultural and natural boundaries of the region. Local history is anchored by numerous cemeteries, including Fineview Cem and Rarick Cem, providing clear points of reference for genealogists. The topography is further distinguished by the numerous islands of Black Lake, such as Hogback Island and Apple Island, which reflect the region's unique geography at the intersection of river valleys and inland lakes.
