About this map

The northernmost reaches of Coos County, New Hampshire, are defined by the convergence of the Connecticut River and the international boundary at the mid-1920s. This survey records a remote landscape of timber and early recreation just before the landscape was altered by hydroelectric developments. The topography centers on the settlement of Pittsburg, where the Lake Francis reservoir area is shown alongside the First Connecticut Lake.

A network of isolated educational outposts such as Indian Stream School, Wheeler School, and Stanton School reflects the dispersed population of families working the land. Numerous logging or hunting camps, including Falkenham Camp and Klondyke Camp, are scattered along the branches of Indian Stream and Halls Stream. This map serves as an essential record of the local genealogy, preserving the locations of family-named landmarks like Shatney Mountain, Spooner Hill, and the Clarksville Town Hall.
