About this map

The Oswegatchie River defines the western corridor of this landscape, winding southward past the village of Edwards and the riverside South Edwards. This 1969 survey reveals a region heavily integrated with state-managed lands, including the Adirondack State Park boundary in the southeast and the Trout Lake State Forest to the northwest. Industry and infrastructure are evident along the river's path, most notably at the Powerplant and several Gravel Pits that supported local development.

Smaller hamlets and family-named landmarks like Pond Settlement and South Russell are connected by a network of rural routes such as Belleville Road and Given Road. The terrain is marked by numerous water bodies including Trout Lake, Stockwell Pond, and Warden Pond, illustrating the typical aquatic-rich environment of the northern Adirondack foothills. Notable for genealogists is the Cem located near Stammer Creek, positioned within the Stammer Creek State Forest.
