About this map

The Grass River winds through the heart of this St. Lawrence County landscape, dictating the placement of historic hamlets and river-crossing communities in the mid-1960s. The settlement of Morley serves as a focal point near the river's bend, anchored by Trinity Ch and the adjacent Trinity Cem Morley Cem. Further downstream, the map details the layout of Madrid Springs and the rural junction at Bucks Bridge.

Rural life is evidenced by the dense network of family-named roads, such as Stiles Road and Coakley Rd, which connect scattered homesteads and local institutions. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of burial grounds, including the Lawrence Cem and Olin Cem, as well as several Gravel Pit locations that indicate the local geological extraction industry. The terrain is largely defined by the prominent Morey Ridge, which rises above the surrounding wetlands and tributary streams like Brandy Brook.
