2016 Map of Raquette River

About this map

The Saint Lawrence Seaway and the Wiley Dondero Canal dominate this 2016 view of the international border landscape, where the Eisenhower Lock and Snell Lock manage maritime traffic passing Barnhart Island. This industrialized corridor contrasts with the rural character of settlements like Massena Center and Maple Ridge. The map documents the intricate river systems of the North Country, showing the parallel paths of the Grass River and Raquette River as they flow toward the Canadian border near Polly Gut. For family historians, several local burial grounds are preserved in the data, including Massena Center Cem and the Nevins Cem located near the Massena International Airport-Richards Field. The terrain is shaped by hydroelectric and navigational infrastructure, connecting the inland waterways to Lake St. Francis.
