1942 Map of Long Bow

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The Raquette River and the West Branch St Regis River carve through this wooded portion of St. Lawrence County, punctuated by dramatic drops at Sylvan Falls, Rainbow Falls, and Gain Twist Falls. This 1942 survey, mapped by the Tennessee Valley Authority for the War Department, shows the northern edge of the Adirondack State Park during an era when rural life was still anchored by small school districts. Settlements like Pickettsville and scattered family landmarks such as French Hill and White Hill are connected by historical thoroughfares like the Russell Turnpike Rd. The landscape is a network of isolated water bodies, including Big Rock Pond, Long Pond, and the Horton Ponds, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the Adirondack foothills before mid-century development shifted the local footprint. Educational landmarks like School No 11 and School No 13 serve as vital geographic markers for genealogists tracing ancestral homesteads in these timbered uplands.
