1911 Map of Lowville

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Beaver River and Lowville and Beaver River railroad define the industrial and transit corridor of this Lewis County region during the early twentieth century. Centered on the village of Lowville, the landscape transitions from the river valley into the upland terrain of the Crystal Hills and the edge of the Adirondacks. The map documents a dense network of local education, featuring numerous named rural schoolhouses such as the Texas Road School, Wisner School, and Summit School that served the dispersed farming and logging communities. Water power is a central theme, evidenced by the Power Plant at Elmer Falls and the industrial operations at Petries Mill. Small settlements like Croghan, Beaver Falls, and New Bremen appear as established hubs, while the survey captures the complex hydrology of the Independence River and the high concentration of small lakes and ponds in the eastern territory.
