1964 Map of Parishville

About this map

Parishville sits at the heart of this mid-century landscape, where the waters of the West Branch St Regis River are harnessed for power. The presence of the Powerplant, Water Tank, and an Aqueduct near the Allen Falls Reservoir illustrates the infrastructure required to manage the river's descent through the town of Parishville. Away from the river banks, the terrain is defined by a patchwork of state forests, including St Lawrence State Forest No 2 and St Lawrence State Forest No 23, interspersed with small rural hamlets like Catherineville and Southville. Local genealogists will find several burial grounds mapped, such as Fairview Cem and Chapel Hill Cem, alongside a network of country roads named for early families, including Reagon Road and Elliot Road.
