About this map

The Raquette River and Jordan River define the hydrography of this northern Adirondack landscape, which centers on the small settlements and seasonal outposts of Colton. Near the river's path, distinctive landmarks such as Moosehead Mountain and Salisbury Marsh rise above a dense network of water bodies, including Massawepie Lake and Carry Falls Reservoir. The map illustrates the concentration of local activity around Childwold, Sevey, and Sevey Corners, where rural roads intersect deep in the forest.

Institutional and recreational footprints are evident at Camp Massawepie and Childwold Park, providing a view of how this territory has been utilized for youth camps and summer residencies. Further north and west, the river system creates natural features like Jamestown Falls, Moody Falls, and the Moosehead Rapids, which were historically significant for navigation and early industry in the Saint Lawrence County wilderness.
