About this map

The Oswegatchie River carves a path through this Saint Lawrence County landscape, anchoring a series of small settlements and industrial sites. In the southern half of the quadrangle, the village of Star Lake sits as a primary hub, adjacent to the recreational grounds of the Clifton - Fine Municipal Golf Course. Further east, the footprint of Benson Mines remains a significant geographic feature, illustrating the region's historical ties to mineral extraction.

Genealogists can locate family sites at Saint Michaels Cem and Woodland Cem near the northern hamlet of Scotts Bridge. The transition from river-valley settlements like Lower Oswegatchie and Coffins Mills to the higher elevations of Blue Mountain and Maple Mountain shows a landscape defined by its waterways and timber potential. Remote points such as Aldrich on the Little River reflect the persistent, small-scale nature of human presence in this corner of the Adirondacks.
