1964 Map of Bangor

About this map

The Little Salmon River meanders across this northern New York landscape, anchoring a rural network of hamlets and family-owned farm plots in the mid-1960s. Small population centers like North Bangor, West Bangor, and Skerry are connected by a dense grid of named roads such as Taylor Road and La Flesh Road, reflecting a century of agricultural development in Franklin County. To the south, the topography rises significantly into the timbered slopes of Franklin State Forest No 1, where the forest service maintains a Radio Tower and elevations increase away from the river valley.
