1926 Map of Indian Stream

About this map

Indian Stream flows south through the northernmost reaches of New Hampshire, defining a landscape of timber camps and isolated mountain settlements before joining the Connecticut River. This 1920s survey depicts the transition from the wild northern forests, dotted with remote outposts like Greeley Camp and Depot Camp, to the developing river valley around Pittsburg and Beecher Falls. The geography is defined by a dense network of one-room schoolhouses, including the Wheeler School, Indian Stream School, and Stanton School, serving families scattered among the ridges. Significant local landmarks like the Kim Day Dam and the Clarksville Town Hall appear alongside the expansive Lake Francis, which dominates the southern portion of the quadrangle. The map documents the intricate drainage patterns of the Halls Stream and Cedar Stream basins along the international border with Canada.
