About this map

The St Lawrence River corridor dominates this mid-1980s portrait of Northern New York, defining the international boundary with Canada. Major population centers like Ogdensburg and Canton anchor a landscape shaped by glacial water bodies and significant institutional footprints, including the St Lawrence State Hosp and St Lawrence Univ. The industrial and transport history of the region is evident in the Conrail rail lines that connect towns like Potsdam, Norwood, and Heuvelton.

Conservation and recreation areas are prominent, particularly the Upper and Lower Lakes State Wildlife Area and Jacques Cartier State Park. Smaller settlements such as Brier Hill, Rensselaer Falls, and Morley are interconnected by a network of local roads and smaller waterways like the Oswegatchie River and Grass River, illustrating the distribution of 20th-century rural life in St. Lawrence County.
