1948 Map of Ogdensburg

About this map

The St Lawrence River serves as the central artery of this international border region, connecting major New York hubs like Ogdensburg and Massena with Ontario settlements such as Brockville and Prescott. This late 1940s landscape is defined by its educational and institutional anchors, including St Lawrence University in Canton and the Clarkson College of Technology in Potsdam. Further south, the Adirondack Mountains rise sharply, featuring landmarks like Whiteface Mountain and Mount Marcy, while the wilderness of Adirondack Park is dotted with numerous water bodies like Cranberry Lake and Upper Saranac Lake.
