About this map

Morristown sits at the northern edge of this St. Lawrence County landscape, overlooking the international boundary along the St Lawrence River. The village shows a developed waterfront with Morristown Point and Chapman Bay, while the neighboring summer colonies of Terrace Park and Edgewater Park cluster along the shoreline to the east. Inland, the community of Brier Hill serves as a local hub, anchored by the Brier Hill Station and several burial grounds including Sunnyside Cem and Greenwood Cem.

The riverfront is defined by a series of points and islands, such as American Island, Old Man Island, and the rocky outcroppings of Whaleback Island. Much of the shoreline is preserved within Jacques Cartier State Park, providing a distinct contrast to the agricultural grid of the interior. Transportation patterns are marked by the Penn Central rail line and a network of rural roads with local identifiers like Yankee Street and Potato Street, reflecting the region's farming heritage.
