About this map

Clarkson University and the State University of New York at Potsdam dominate the eastern banks of the Raquette River, reflecting the town's long-standing identity as a regional educational hub. The river itself is punctuated by Fall Island and Sugar Island, while the Potsdam Water Works indicates the essential infrastructure supporting the village. To the north and east, the landscape transitions into a network of rural hamlets including West Stockholm, Sandfordville, and Unionville.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the township, from the large Bayside Cemetery and Saint Marys Cemetery near the village core to smaller rural grounds like Ellis Cemetery and Parmeter Cemetery. The eastern edge of the quadrangle is defined by the West Branch Saint Regis River and the Saint Lawrence State Forest Number 23, showing the balance between settled agricultural land and protected woodlands.
