1905 Map of Ogdensburg

About this map

Ogdensburg sits as the primary hub of this 1905 landscape, positioned where the Oswegatchie River meets the St Lawrence River. The map documents a complex network of turn-of-the-century rail infrastructure, featuring the Rutland RR and the Ogdensburg Division of the New York Central and Hudson River RR. To the north, the sprawling grounds of the St Lawrence State Hospital occupy the riverside near Chimney Point. Further south, the rural character of St. Lawrence County is defined by small crossroads like Kings Corners Kokomo PO and specialized landmarks such as the McCormick Schoolhouse and Bell Schoolhouse. The southwestern corner is dominated by the expanse of Black Lake, while the rail junction at Dekalb Junction illustrates the connectivity required for the region's early twentieth-century economy.
