About this map

Massena and the outlying area of Massena Springs are defined by the convergence of industrial power and the international border along the Saint Lawrence Seaway. This landscape is heavily shaped by water management, notably the Massena Power Canal which diverts water to the town's industrial core. To the north, the massive expanse of Lake Saint Lawrence contains Croil Island and the Long Sault Islands, marking the boundary between the United States and Canada.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of local burial grounds, including Saint Peter's Roman Catholic Cem, Calvary Cem, Adath Cem, and the West Orvis Street Cem. The southern reach of the map reveals a more rural character through the meandering paths of the Grass River, Raquette River, and Hutchins Cr, where smaller landmarks like Kent Mill Cem and Tucker Terrace sit among a network of local routes like Ridge Road in Louisville.
