About this map

The St Lawrence River frontage dominates this mid-1960s survey of the northern frontier, where the Ogdensburg-Prescott International Bridge links New York to Ontario. The city of Ogdensburg is the primary hub, showing a dense grid of streets like Ford St and Canton St alongside industrial markers like the Seaway Shopping Center and a Powerhouse on the Oswegatchie River. To the northeast, the sprawling grounds of the St Lawrence State Hospital occupy the riverbank, accompanied by several dedicated burial grounds including the State Hospital Cem and Old State Hospital Cem.

Further inland, the landscape of Lisbon and Oswegatchie is defined by rural crossroads and the New York Central rail line. Small hamlets such as Heuvelton, Northrup Corners, and Tibbits serve as local anchors connected by an extensive network of family-named roads including Pray Road and Taylor Road. The inclusion of the New York State Fish Hatchery near Galop Island and the Ogdensburg Municipal Airport illustrates the varied public infrastructure supporting the region during this era.
