About this map

Lyon Mountain dominates this Adirondack landscape, serving as a focal point for the surrounding industrial and residential clusters of the early twentieth century. The Hudson and Delaware RR cuts through the northern high country, linking the mining settlement at Lyon Mountain to the outside world. To the east and south, the Saranac River and its branches provide the geographic spine for several small hamlets, including Redford, Clayburg, and Riverview.

Industrial activity is evident near the water and rail lines, from the Junction Kilns in the north to the Goodrich Mill in the southeast. This survey captures a transition in Clinton County, where traditional mountain industries like milling and iron mining operated alongside established rural landmarks like the Hammond School and the Lobbdel PO. The intricate network of brooks and ponds, including Chazy Lake and Silver Lake, illustrates the complex drainage patterns of this upland terrain.
