1963 Map of Ogdensburg West

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Ogdensburg stands at the strategic meeting point of the St Lawrence River and the Oswegatchie River, serving as a vital international gateway along the border with Canada in the early 1960s. The landscape is defined by its deep-water access and institutional infrastructure, featuring the Wadhams Hall Seminary and Mater Dei College, alongside specialized facilities like the Home for the Aged. Industrial and maritime activity is concentrated along the riverfront, where a Lighthouse and a Ferry crossing to Ontario signify the city's role as a port of entry. Local transportation and industry are supported by the New York Central Railroad which skirts the riverbank, and extensive extractive sites including Quarries located on the city's edge. Beyond the urban core, rural family names are preserved on routes such as Lovejoy Road and Hutchinson Road, while the mid-century culture of the era is represented by a Drive-in Theater near Nevins Pt.
