About this map

The Oswegatchie River defines the landscape of this St. Lawrence County region, curving through Heuvelton as it heads toward the St. Lawrence. The 1963 survey reveals a rural network of farm-to-market roads and small settlements like Kokomo Corners and De Peyster. To the west, the expanse of Black Lake and its Lower Big Bay provide a distinct contrast to the upland terrain of Mt Lona and Barter Hill.

Genealogists can trace family names across several burial grounds, including Pine Hill Cem and Hill Crest Cem, while industrial history is represented by the New York Central railroad line and various Sand and Gravel Pits scattered near the river. The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by wetlands surrounding Beaver Creek and Mud Lake, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the Northern New York frontier before modern development altered many of these smaller watercourses.
