2023 Map of Harrisville

About this map

Harrisville serves as the primary hub of this northern New York landscape, situated where the West Branch Oswegatchie River winds through the border of St. Lawrence and Lewis counties. The settlement pattern follows old transit corridors, with Geers Corners and Pitcairn marking historical crossroads north of the river. A dense network of water bodies, including Beaver Lake, Twin Ponds, and Toothaker Pond, defines the terrain between prominent rises like Baldface Hill and Cooper Hill. Genealogists may find particular interest in the Garrison Cem located near Big Creek. The presence of named tracks such as Railroad St and Ore Bed Rd points to the region's industrial past, while the numerous ponds and creeks suggest a landscape historically shaped by timber and water power.
