1964 Map of Parishville

About this map

The St Regis River carves through this northern New York landscape, defining the character of St. Lawrence County in the mid-1960s. The settlement of Parishville serves as a primary hub, anchored by the Parishville-Hopkinton Sch and the nearby Fairview Cem. Infrastructure along the West Branch is dominated by the Allen Falls Reservoir and its associated Powerplant, showing the mid-century intersection of natural waterways and hydroelectric utility. Moving north toward Buckton and Beechertown, the terrain transitions into the managed timberlands of St Lawrence State Forest No 31. Smaller crossroads like Southville and Converse appear as tight-knit clusters of rural life, connected by a network of family-named routes such as Hanson Road and Sullivan Road. The map provides a detailed view of these rural communities just before modern developments further altered the pastoral and industrial landscape of the region.
