2019 Map of West Potsdam

About this map

Raquette River flows along the eastern edge of this Saint Lawrence County landscape, connecting the village of Norwood with the neighboring hamlets of Hewittville and the northern reaches of Potsdam. This 2019 survey documents the rural character of the region, where numerous small settlements like West Potsdam, Slab City, and Eben are linked by a dense network of country roads including Cty Rte 35 and Dailey Ridge Rd. The map provides significant genealogical value, identifying the locations of established burial grounds such as Riverside Cem and West Potsdam Cem. Numerous minor waterways, including Stony Brook, Trout Brook, and Sugar Cr, drain the agricultural terrain, defining the natural boundaries between farms and woodlots. The presence of these named creeks and historic hamlets offers a detailed look at the persistent settlement patterns of northern New York.
