1942 Map of Copenhagen

About this map

Deer River and the Black River define the local industry and geography of this northern New York landscape during the early 1940s. The village of Copenhagen serves as a primary hub in the south, while the northern boundary is anchored by the industrial and rail activity at Carthage and West Carthage. Significant water features like Kings Falls and High Falls mark the steep descent of the local waterways, providing a glimpse into the hydro-power potential of the era.
