1951 Map of Natural Bridge
USGS Topo · Published 1953About this map
The Indian River winds through the borderlands of Jefferson and Lewis counties, defining a landscape where rural hamlets meet significant military and industrial footprints. In the early 1950s, the northern portion of this area was dominated by the Camp Drum Military Reservation, while the community of Natural Bridge served as a local hub near the New York Central railroad line. The map reveals a high density of wetlands and small water bodies, including the Black Ash Swamp and Ashcraft Pond, which likely influenced the placement of early roads like Slye Road and Aldrich Road. Local history is preserved in the location of the Hillside Cem and Blanchard Cem, alongside small settlements such as Diana Center and Blanchard Corners that anchored the townships of Diana, Wilna, and Croghan.
