Pitcairn and St. Lawrence County
Pitcairn is associated with St. Lawrence County in the Census boundary data. Start with the parcel’s tax bill to match the property to that jurisdiction, then confirm which government handles its land use.
Pitcairn by land and water
The Census records 0.68 square miles of water within Pitcairn, or 1.1% of its total area. It is 3.9 percentage points lower than the 5% recorded for St. Lawrence County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
