About this map

The village of Malone serves as the focal point of this mid-century landscape, positioned where the Salmon River and the New York Central railroad converge. The community's institutional history is well-represented, featuring prominent schools like the Franklin Academy and St Josephs Ursuline Academy, alongside civic landmarks including the Courthouse and Hospital. At Malone Junction, the transition from the rail-oriented industrial village to the agricultural outskirts is clear, with numerous family-named roads like Meehan Road and Wescott Road defining the surrounding landscape.

Downstream from the main village, Whippleville marks a point where the terrain becomes more varied as it moves toward the Franklin State Forest. This southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the winding course of Branch Brook and Limekiln Brook, showcasing a transition from the dense street grids of the county seat to the forested uplands. The distribution of cemeteries, such as Dimmick Cem and Notre Dame Cem, provides essential points of reference for genealogists tracing local families during this era.
