2019 Map of Hammond

About this map

Black Lake dominates the eastern half of this Saint Lawrence County landscape, defining a complex shoreline of bays and islands. Settlements like Hammond and North Hammond anchor the interior, connected by a network of rural roads such as Oak Point Rd and Ireland Rd. The terrain is marked by the presence of numerous small family and community burial grounds, including Hammond Cem, Fineview Cem, and Rarick Cem near Oakvale. These sites, along with the scattered hamlets of Rossie and Cedars, suggest a long-established rural community where the water and land are deeply intertwined. The many named islands, such as Lookout Island and Emery Island, together with protected waters like Mile Arm Bay and Lonesome Bay, reflect the area's history as a recreational and residential hub along the northern New York borderlands.
