About this map

The Raquette River shapes the eastern landscape of this Saint Lawrence County survey, where the settlement of Hewittville sits along its banks north of Sissonville Rd. Further west, the terrain is defined by a dense network of country roads connecting small rural clusters and agricultural lands. Small hamlets like West Potsdam and Slab City serve as historic anchor points, while family and local heritage is preserved through scattered burial grounds including W Potsdam Cem and S Potsdam Cem.

Transport and land use patterns are evident in the orientation of routes like Morley Potsdam Rd and the winding course of Trout Brook. The map details local industry and land management through sites such as Saint Lawrence Nurseries and Sagamore Farm, providing a clear view of the area's modern rural character. Other small named locales like Eben and Burnham Corners mark historical intersections that have persisted through generations of local residency.
