About this map

Indian Stream flows south through the heart of the North Country in this 1925 survey, carving a valley between the international boundary and the First Connecticut Lake. The landscape is defined by the timber economy and remote mountain camps, featuring named outposts like Falkenham Camp and Holden Camp deep in the northern reaches. Along the southern edge, the settlements of Pittsburg and Clarksville anchor the map, with the latter centering on the Clarksville Town Hall.

Tracing the rural road network reveals a system of localized education, with the Indian Stream School, Stanton School, and Young School serving dispersed farmsteads. Near the Vermont border, the Maine Central railroad passes through Beecher Falls, while the Kim Day Dam on the stream signifies the early industrial management of these waters for logging or power. This survey preserves the exact locations of family-named landmarks like Ben Young Hill and Spooner Hill during a transitional era for New Hampshire's furthest northern townships.
