1964 Map of North Lawrence

About this map

Deer River winds through the heart of this landscape, anchoring the hamlets and crossroads that define northern St. Lawrence County in the mid-1960s. The settlement pattern is characterized by a series of family-named junctions, such as Coteys Corner, McEwens Corner, and Wagstaff Corner, reflecting the agricultural and genealogical history of the township. North Lawrence and Lawrenceville serve as the primary population centers, while the surrounding area is heavily dominated by public lands including the St Lawrence State Forest and the Franklin State Forest. This survey captures a rural New York economy dependent on local resources, shown by the numerous Gravel Pits scattered near roadways. Researchers will find a preserved record of local heritage in several small burial grounds like Flint Chaffee Cem and Maple Grove Cem, which remain tucked between the woodlands and the network of local roads such as Mc Cuin Road and Hallahan Road.
