1969 Map of South Edwards

About this map

The Oswegatchie River defines the western landscape of this St. Lawrence County region, flowing past the village of Edwards and through the industrial focal point at South Edwards. Near the river's bend, a powerplant and several gravel pits indicate the local utility and resource extraction of the late 1960s. The area is heavily marked by public lands and forest management, including the Stammer Creek State Forest and the northern reaches of Adirondack State Park. Small, established communities like South Russell and the notably named Pond Settlement provide points of interest for genealogists tracing family locations in the town of Fine and surrounding townships. Numerous water bodies, such as Stockwell Pond, Warden Pond, and Hall Lake, are scattered throughout the dense woodland, connected by a network of local routes like Belleville Road and more remote jeep trails.
