2013 Map of Harrisville

About this map

Harrisville serves as the primary hub of activity in this Adirondack-fringe landscape, situated along the W Br Oswegatchie River where local streets like Mill St and Railroad St hint at the village’s industrial history. The surrounding countryside is defined by a dense network of water bodies and high points, from the large expanse of Lake Bonaparte to the prominent heights of Cooper Hill and Baldface Hill. Smaller clusters of settlement are found at Pitcairn, Backus, and Geers Corners, linked by rural routes such as Alpine Rd and Co Rte-26. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Garrison Cem along Garrison Rd, while numerous ponds like Duck Pond, Bullhead Pond, and Shiner Pond illustrate the glacial geography characteristic of northern New York. The map details a transition from the structured street grid of the village to the meandering paths of Toothaker Cr and Meadow Brook.
