About this map

The St Lawrence River frontage dominates this mid-century survey, highlighted by the sprawling grounds of the St Lawrence State Hospital and the Ogdensburg-Prescott International Bridge. The landscape transitions from the urbanized riverfront of Ogdensburg to the agricultural interior of Lisbon and Oswegatchie townships. Significant cemetery holdings, including State Hospital Cem, St Marys Cem, and Riverside Cem, offer valuable data for local genealogists.

Transportation networks define the region's movement, with the New York Central railroad and the Oswegatchie River converging near Heuvelton. The presence of the New York State Fish Hatchery and the Eel Weir Picnic Area indicates the importance of the river's natural resources to the local economy and recreation during this era. Rural settlements like Northrup Corners and Tibbits appear as modest crossroads amidst a network of family-named roads and numerous gravel pits.
