About this map

The St Regis River and its multiple branches carve through this northern New York landscape, anchoring established riverside settlements like Nicholville, St Regis Falls, and Fort Jackson. Surveyed shortly after the Great War, the map reveals a rural society structured around local education, with numerous numbered schoolhouses such as School No. 5 and School No. 7 serving the townships of Lawrence and Hopkinton.

Further south, the terrain transitions into the densely forested Adirondack foothills, marked by prominent peaks like Blue Mtn and Sugar Grove Mtn. This area is dotted with remote camps and water bodies, including Lake Ozonia and Dexter Lake. The presence of the Brooklyn Division and Cooperage roads suggests a landscape shaped by timber and local industry, while the Turnpike in the north indicates the primary transit corridor connecting Dickinson Center to the surrounding region.
