1913 Map of Lowville

USGS Topo · Published 1921

About this map

Lowville and the Beaver River valley serve as the primary anchors of this Lewis County survey, which details a landscape transitioning from industrialized river towns to the pond-strewn highlands of the Adirondack fringe. The Lowville and Beaver River railroad line follows the water, connecting settlements like Beaver Falls and Croghan, where the river's descent is utilized by a Power Plant at Elmer Falls. This era of development is defined by a dense network of local schoolhouses, including the Texas Road School, Monnatt School, and Puffer School, reflecting a settled rural population before the mid-century consolidation of districts. To the east, the terrain becomes more varied as the elevation rises toward Beech Hill. Here, the map documents a cluster of recreation and industry near Crystal Lake, with sites like Petries Mill and numerous family-named landmarks such as Bushes Landing and Petries Corners providing valuable points of reference for local historians.
