1917 Map of Malone

USGS Topo · Published 1944

About this map

The Salmon River and its numerous tributaries, including Briggs Creek and Deer River, define the rural landscape of Franklin County just prior to the first World War. This territory, surveyed by Glenn S. Smith and T.F. Slaughter, shows a dense network of early 20th-century agrarian life, marked by a high concentration of local schools ranging from School No 1 to School No 18. The town of Malone serves as a significant regional hub, where the Rutland (Ogdensburg Division) meets the New York Central and Adirondack Division railroads at Malone Junction. This rail infrastructure was critical for the local economy, connecting smaller settlements like Westville, Constable, and North Bangor to larger markets. Notable local institutions, such as the County Almshouse, are clearly indicated, providing a detailed record of the social and civic geography of the era along the Canada-United States border.
