1927 Map of Indian Stream

About this map

Lake Francis and the meandering headwaters of the Indian Stream define this northernmost reach of New England along the Canada United States border. Surveyed in the mid-1920s, the landscape is a network of logging camps and remote watercourses, including Greeley Camp, Depot Camp, and Klondyke Camp. The mapping of the Kim Day Dam and numerous schools like Indian Stream School, Wheeler School, and Stinton School reflects a period of localized rural infrastructure and industry before modern consolidation. Significant terrain features such as Shatney Mountain and Cowen Hill rise above a dense drainage basin where Back Lake and the First Connecticut Lake anchor the eastern and southern edges of the quadrangle. The presence of the Clarksville Town Hall and the small settlement at Pittsburg provide touchstones for genealogists tracing families in this isolated timber and borderland region during the early twentieth century.
