About this map

The St Regis Indian Reservation dominates the northern landscape of this northern New York borderland, where the St Lawrence River meets the United States Canada Boundary Line. The region is defined by a dense network of watercourses including the Raquette River, St Regis River, and Salmon River. Early twentieth-century industry is evident at the Brasher Iron Works, Ironton, and the Wagstaff Factory, reflecting the local manufacturing economy of the era.
