1922 Map of Childwold

About this map

Hollywood and Kildare anchor this 1920s topography of the Adirondack wilderness, where logging camps and private clubs defined the landscape. The survey details a remote network of camps such as Sullivan Camp, Buckley Camp, and Augerhole Camp, alongside the exclusive Kildare Club No 16. In the southern portion of the map, the settlements of Childwold and Sevey are documented with their local institutions, including the Childwold School and the Shurtleff Hotel. This era represents a time when the region was primarily accessible via names like the Kildare Road and the New Road. The drainage patterns of the Jordan River and Joe Indian Pond dominate the northern half, while Mount Matumbla rises as a prominent landmark in the southeast, illustrating the complex terrain before mid-century modernization.
