2010 Map of Massena

About this map

The industrial and riverine character of the United States-Canada border is defined by the massive water control infrastructure near Massena. This survey captures the complex hydraulics of the Saint Lawrence Seaway, where the Massena Power Canal and Wiley Dondero Canal intersect with natural features like the Grass River and Raquette River. The landscape is a mix of heavy utility, seen in the Massena Intake Dam and Dike Number 1, and established local history. Several burial grounds, including Adath Cemetery and the West Orvis Street Cemetery, are clustered near the town center. To the south, Massena Springs and Kent Mill Cemetery sit along the winding course of Plum Brook, while the northern reaches are dominated by Croil Islands and Lake Saint Lawrence.
