1917 Map of Malone

About this map

Malone serves as the primary hub of this northern New York landscape during the early twentieth century, situated at the crossroads of major transportation lines. The Rutland Railroad and the Adirondack Division New York Central Railroad intersect at Malone Junction, illustrating the area's importance as a rail center. Beyond the town, the rural economy is clearly mapped through a dense network of numbered schoolhouses, such as School No 11 and School No 5, which served small agricultural settlements like North Bangor, Constable, and Fort Covington Center.
