About this map

Oswegatchie and the surrounding wilderness of the Adirondack Park define this landscape along the winding course of the Oswegatchie River. The area serves as a primary gateway to the park's interior, centered on the community of Star Lake and the industrial legacy of Benson Mines. The topography is dominated by numerous peaks such as Panther Mtn and Blue Mtn, while the lowlands are marked by historical settlements like Aldrich and Coffins Mills.

Transport patterns reflect the difficult terrain, with the Oswegatchie Trl Rd following the river valley through Lower Oswegatchie. The map reveals a land defined by water and forest, including remote features like Sucker Lake and Bundy Pond. Near the northern boundary, Saint Michaels Cem and the settlement of Woodland provide touchpoints for local genealogical research in this sparsely populated section of Saint Lawrence County.
