About this map

The West Branch Oswegatchie River flows through the heart of this landscape, anchoring the settlement of Harrisville where the river turns southward. This 2016 survey captures a region defined by its waterway network and scattered small communities like Pitcairn, Backus, and Geers Corners. The geography is marked by numerous ponds and hills, including Beaver Lake, Cooper Hill, and Baldface Hill, which provide a sense of the undulating terrain typical of this part of New York.

Genealogists and local researchers will find value in the location of the Garrison Cem and the distinct transition across the St. Lawrence Co Lewis Co boundary line. Significant water features such as Lake Bonaparte in the southwest and Big Hill Pond in the southeast illustrate the varied hydrology of the region. Local landmarks like the Marshey Road Bridge and a network of named thoroughfares, including State Forest Rd and Jayville Rd, provide a clear picture of the modern road infrastructure connecting these rural localities.
