1964 Map of Potsdam

About this map

Potsdam serves as the academic and industrial anchor of this mid-century survey, defined by the presence of Clarkson College and the State Teachers College. The Raquette River bisects the village, passing landmark public spaces like Ives Park and Cubley Park while supporting local infrastructure at the Gaging Station and the Spillway. The surrounding landscape of Stockholm and Parishville is a mosaic of agricultural plots and gravel operations, with the New York Central Railroad providing a critical transportation corridor through Norwood. To the east, the St. Regis River winds through St. Lawrence State Forest No. 23, past the small hamlets of West Stockholm and Sandfordville. Genealogists will find significant detail in the numerous burial grounds, including Old St. Marys Cem and Calvary Cemetery, which mark the settlement history of the river valleys.
