About this map

Black Lake dominates the northwestern landscape of this Saint Lawrence County survey, its waters punctuated by numerous landforms including Big Island, Snake Island, and Elizabeth Island. The settlement pattern follows a network of historical crossroads and family-run farms, such as Harmar Farm, Oak Ridge Farm, and Tulley Farm, illustrating the region's agricultural roots. Transportation and social centers are anchored at Pope Mills and Brasie Corners, while several community burial grounds, including Oldsville Cem and Woodworth Cem, provide critical points of reference for genealogical research.

The hydrologic system is defined by the winding paths of Fish Cr and Birch Cr, which feed into the lake system. Notable landmarks like Stark School Corner and Pierces Corners reflect the localized development of the township. To the southeast, the Oswegatchie River cuts through the terrain near the junction of Little Bow Rd and Lockie Rd, marking the edge of a landscape shaped by both moving and still waters.
