2010 Map of Morley

About this map

The Grass River serves as the central geographic feature of this Northern New York landscape, winding its way through the settlements of Morley and Madrid. This survey of the area near Potsdam reveals a rural environment structured around small crossings and agricultural intersections such as Hague Crossing and Casey Corners. The mapping of several distinct burying grounds, including the Lawrence Cemetery and Olin Cemetery, provides significant data points for genealogists tracing families in Saint Lawrence County. Significant waterways like Brandy Brook and Line Creek feed into the main river system, while Morey Ridge provides the most notable topographic variation in an otherwise gently undulating terrain. The proximity of Madrid Springs to the primary Madrid settlement suggests the local importance of water resources during the early 21st century.
