About this map

The St Lawrence River serves as the international boundary on this 1943 survey, separating the bustling city of Brockville in Ontario from the village of Morristown in New York. The river is crowded with numerous islands and points, including the Brock Group and Skelton Island, while the Canadian side is dominated by the intersecting tracks of the Canadian Pacific and Canadian National railroads.

South of the river, the landscape of St. Lawrence County is defined by a network of rural roads like Yankee Street and Oak Point Road that connect small farming hubs. Local genealogists will find significant detail in the placement of numerous one-room schoolhouses, including School No 11 and School No 9, as well as the Chippewa Street Church. The New York Central rail line cuts through the countryside, stopping at the Brier Hill Sta to serve the local agricultural community.
