1913 Map of Lowville

USGS Topo · Published 1948

About this map

The Lowville and Beaver River Railroad anchors the industrial and agricultural activity of this region during the early twentieth century, tracing a path through New Bremen toward the heart of Croghan. Along the Beaver River, significant water-powered infrastructure is evident at Beaver Falls and the Power Plant near Elmer Falls. The landscape is a network of small, localized communities such as Kirchnerville, Naumburg, and Petries Corners, each supported by a high density of rural schoolhouses like Moffatt School and Ossoit School. To the east, the terrain transitions into the lake-studded edges of the Adirondacks, where Crystal Lake and Halfmoon Lake sit alongside early timber or milling sites like Petries Mill and the Beach Millpond. This survey captures a moment when river power and local rail were the primary drivers of commerce in Lewis County.
