2016 Map of Richville

About this map

The Oswegatchie River meanders across this Saint Lawrence County landscape, defining the character of the settlements at Richville and North Gouverneur. This survey captures the rural infrastructure of Northern New York, where historic crossing points like Rock Island Bridge and Peabody Bridge connect a network of remote roads including Lead Mine RD and Cream Of The Valley RD. The terrain is marked by significant wetlands and water bodies, from Mud Lake in the north to the glacial features of Osborn Lake and Spooner Flat. Genealogists will find notable local landmarks in the North Gouverneur Cem, Maple Grove Cem, and Wayside Cem, providing a clear record of the area's established community centers. The geography transitions from the elevations of Huckleberry Mtn to the fertile basins carved by Beaver Creek and its southern branch, illustrating the persistent agricultural and river-based layout of the region.
