The Oswegatchie River and the northern tip of Black Lake anchor this 1943 survey of St. Lawrence County, showing a landscape defined by small agrarian communities and a dense network of district schools. The village of Heuvelton serves as the central hub, situated where the New York Central railroad crosses the river. The map captures a high degree of rural detail, including the numbered school system ranging from School No 15 near Lost Village to the Fish Creek School further south. Genealogists can find several family-named landmarks and burial grounds, such as Purmort Cem and Mt Lona Cem, alongside small crossroads like Kokomo Corners and the settlement of De Peyster. The presence of the Gaging Station and various river-bottom wetlands illustrates the importance of the local watershed to the surrounding towns of De Peyster and De Kalb.
