1951 Map of Ogdensburg

About this map

The St. Lawrence River serves as the international boundary and primary corridor for this mid-century survey, linking the riverfront commerce of Ogdensburg and Massena to the interior rail networks of Northern New York. The landscape transitions from the fertile St. Lawrence Valley to the high peaks of the Adirondack Mountains, where prominent landmarks such as Whiteface Mountain and Mount Marcy rise above the forested wilderness of the Adirondack Park. The industrial and agricultural vitality of the region is evident in the dense concentration of settlements along the New York Central and Rutland railroad lines, which connected timber and mining interests to central hubs like Malone, Potsdam, and Canton.
