2010 Map of Harrisville

About this map

The West Branch Oswegatchie River meanders across this northern New York landscape, anchoring the settlement of Harrisville where the river turns sharply south. This 2010 topographic record captures the intersection of small upland hamlets and a dense network of water bodies, including the northeastern edge of Lake Bonaparte. To the north, the terrain rises toward Cooper Hill and Baldface Hill, while the valley floor is punctuated by small clusters of activity at Geers Corners and Pitcairn. Family history and local heritage are preserved at the Garrison Cemetery, situated near the confluence of Big Creek and the main river branch. The map reveals a transition between concentrated village life and the numerous glacial ponds and marshes, such as Shiner Pond and Goose Pond, that characterize the region's complex drainage pattern.
