1964 Map of Pierrepont

About this map

Pierrepont and the rural townships of Canton and Potsdam characterize this mid-century landscape in St. Lawrence County. The settlement pattern is defined by small crossroads hamlets such as Crary Mills, Langdon Corners, and Howardville, many of which formed around early schoolhouses like Giffins Corners Sch and community churches including Brick Chapel. The New York Central railroad cuts through the northern section, tracing a path near Tracy Brook, while the southern reaches rise toward the higher elevations of Waterman Hill and the dense timber of the St Lawrence State Forest.
