About this map

The Saint Regis River winds through this Northern New York landscape, anchoring the historic hamlets of Nicholville, Hopkinton, and Fort Jackson. These settlements are situated at the northern edge of the Adirondack Park Preserve, where the river and its many tributaries, including Miller Brook and Hopkinton Brook, defined the early transit and milling patterns of Saint Lawrence County. Local history is well-preserved through numerous family and community sites, such as Chesterfield Cem and the Fort Jackson Hopkinton Cem near the riverbanks.

Evidence of the area's agricultural and rural development remains visible in the web of named roads like Days Mills Rd and Port Kent RD. Elevation changes are marked by prominent landmarks such as Mound Hill and Independent Hill, which overlook a network of smaller streams including Cold Hill Brook and Sucker Brook. The map captures the transition from the forested Adirondack highlands in the south to the more open river valleys where Kellogg and other small communities took root.
