2010 Map of West Potsdam

About this map

The Raquette River shapes the eastern boundary of this region, flowing northward through the village of Norwood and the settlement of Hewittville. Away from the river, the landscape is defined by a network of agricultural crossroads and small hamlets, including West Potsdam, Burnham Corners, and the uniquely named Slab City. This 2010 survey illustrates the enduring rural character of Saint Lawrence County, where several small creeks like Trout Brook and Stony Brook meander through the farmland towards the river valley. Genealogists will find particular value in the clearly marked burial grounds distributed across the township, such as Saint James Cemetery in the northwest and the centrally located West Potsdam Cemetery. The map also captures the outskirts of the larger village of Potsdam in the southeast, providing a detailed look at the infrastructure connecting these historic North Country communities.
