The Oswegatchie River defines the landscape of this Saint Lawrence County region, winding past the village of Rensselaer Falls and the riverside settlement of Coopers Falls. This survey documents a rural corridor of Northern New York where the river's path is marked by distinctive landmarks like Catfish Rock and flanked by numerous family-named roads such as Wilstrop Rd and Walroth Rd. To the southeast, De Kalb Junction serves as a local transit hub, while the interior is dotted with several legacy burial grounds, including Kendrew Cem, Union Cem, and Saint Henrys Cem. The presence of Upper Lake and Lower Lake along Indian Creek illustrates the complex drainage and wetland patterns characteristic of this river valley, providing an essential record for those studying the genealogical and geographic history of the Canton area.
