1904 Map of Ogdensburg

About this map

The St Lawrence River forms a massive international corridor at Ogdensburg, where the New York Central and Hudson River RR and Rutland RR converge to support a busy border economy. The landscape is defined by the winding Oswegatchie River and several smaller agricultural hubs like Heuvelton and Rensselaer Falls. Local infrastructure is well-established, with sites like the St Lawrence State Hospital occupying a significant riverside tract and rural education centers such as McCormick Schoolhouse and Bell Schoolhouse serving the outlying townships of Lisbon and Depeyster. Genealogists will find interest in localized post offices and crossroads like Kings Corners Kokomo PO and Northrup Cors, which highlight the density of early 20th-century settlement before the consolidation of rural communities. The map also traces the Rome Watertown and Ogdensburg Div, illustrating how vital rail connections were to these North Country towns.
