About this map

Indian Stream flows south through the heart of this northern wilderness, defining a landscape marked by early 20th-century logging and remote settlement. Surveyed in 1925, the map captures a network of logging outposts like Greeleys Camp and Depot Camp alongside small community centers such as Happy Corner. The topography is dominated by the Spooner Hills and Deer Mtn, where the headwaters of the Connecticut River take shape.

Genealogical interest is found in the distribution of rural schools, including Hall Stream School and Young School, which served the scattered families of Clarksville and Pittsburg. The boundary between the United States and Canada is meticulously detailed, showing the intricate relationship between the natural water borders of Hall Stream and the surveyed lines that partition the Great North Woods. This survey predates significant modernization, preserving the locations of seasonal camps like Camp Otter and the original Clarksville Town Hall.
