1913 Map of Lyon Mountain

Waterways like the Saranac River and Silver Lake dictate the placement of small riverfront settlements such as Clayburg and Redford. For those researching family history, the map preserves locations like the Hammond School and the Lobdell PO, showing the distribution of rural services before mid-century modernization. The terrain is a complex of peaks and gaps, including Averill Pk and The Gap, which historically isolated these communities and focused development along the river valleys and rail spurs.
