1958 Map of Black River

About this map

The Black River flows along the southern boundary of this region, providing the namesake for the settlement of Black River and the industrial activity at Felts Mills. In the late 1950s, the landscape is defined by the significant footprint of the U S Military Reservation Camp Drum, which occupies much of the eastern terrain. This military presence sits in contrast to the surrounding rural hamlets and agricultural corners, such as Dutch Settlement and Pamelia Four Corners.
