About this map

St Lawrence River frontage dominates this mid-1980s survey, illustrating the international border corridor where New York and Ontario meet. The map documents the industrial and institutional infrastructure of Ogdensburg, notably the St Lawrence State Hosp and the Ogdensburg International Airport. To the southwest, the distinctive narrow expanse of Black Lake is visible, while the interior of St Lawrence Co shows a mosaic of dairy-country road networks connecting rural hamlets like Heuvelton and Rensselaer Falls.

Environmental conservation footprints are prominent throughout the landscape, from the Wilson Hill State Fish and Game Management Area in the north to the Upper and Lower Lakes State Wildlife Area near Canton. The network of the Conrail railroad and major rivers like the Oswegatchie River and Raquette River highlight the historic transport and water-power corridors that fostered the development of towns such as Potsdam and Massena.
