1964 Map of Chasm Falls

About this map

Salmon River waterpower and the northern reaches of the Adirondack State Park anchor this mid-1960s study of northern New York. The community of Chasm Falls sits at a strategic point where the river carves through the landscape, supported by local institutions like the River Street Sch and a nearby Gaging Station. A network of family-named roads, such as Donohue Road and Stacy Road, connects small settlements like Teboville and Bellmont Center to the surrounding hills. Evidence of earlier transport and industry is visible in the Old Railroad Grade and numerous quarries and gravel pits scattered across the township lines. Higher elevations are dominated by the Owls Head Range and West Mountain, with the Brown-Benoit Trail providing access to the more secluded terrain of the State Forest Preserve.
