1921 Map of Childwold

USGS Topo · Published 1921

About this map

Raquette River rapids and waterfalls dominate this 1921 landscape as it descends through the Adirondack wilderness. The map captures a transition point where early tourism and logging outposts like Childwold and Sevey supported travelers near the Shurtleff Hotel. Small pockets of community life are visible at the Childwold School, Sevey School, and Hollywood School, while the interior remains defined by private camps and clubs, such as Kildare Club No 16. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of water bodies, including Joe Indian Pond and Amber Lake, many of which were accessed only by the primitive Kildare Road. To the east, the prominent Mt Matumbla rises above the marshy lowlands of the Jordan river valley, illustrating the challenging topography that shaped early settlement patterns in St. Lawrence and Franklin counties.
