About this map

Hermon and Russell anchor this mid-1960s survey of St. Lawrence County, where the meandering Grass River carves a sharp path through the bedrock, notably at the Devils Elbow bend. The settlement pattern is defined by numerous family-named crossroads, such as Putnams Corners, Scotts Corners, and Danes Corners, indicating a landscape of established rural farmsteads and local commerce.

Industrial activity is concentrated near the larger settlements, with a Gravel Pit near the Hermon village center and a Gaging Sta monitoring the flow of Falls Creek. Toward the southern edge of the map, the terrain rises into the State Forest near Blanchard Hill, where the drainage of Bullock Creek and Cancross Creek feeds the river system. This topographic record captures the transition from the village centers of Stellaville and Marshville to the high ground of Hamilton Hill and Dana Hill.
