About this map

The Grass River defines the central axis of this Saint Lawrence County landscape, winding northward through the hamlets of Morley and Bucks Bridge. In this 2016 record of the region, the rural character remains evident in the network of farm-to-market roads and the distribution of localized burial grounds. Family names and local history are preserved in the naming of several rural plots, including Doran Cem, Olin Cem, and Lawrence Cem, which are scattered among the fields.

North of the prominent Morey Ridge, the terrain levels out as it approaches the villages of Madrid and Madrid Springs. Significant drainage systems like Nettle Cr and Line Cr feed into the river valley, marking the low-lying wetlands that characterize the North Country. The map provides a clear look at the intersection of long-established settlements and the natural riparian corridors that have dictated the placement of roads like Co Rd 14 and Pearson Rd.
