1921 Map of Nicholville

About this map

St Regis River and its branches serve as the primary geographical focus for this part of northern New York, connecting the riverside settlements of Nicholville and St Regis Falls. Surveyed in 1919, the map reveals a rural landscape organized around a dense network of district schoolhouses, from School No 8 near the Turnpike to the Lake Ozonia School deep in the Adirondack foothills. The northern lowlands are characterized by small hamlets like Fort Jackson and Dickinson Center, while the southern terrain rises into a complex system of peaks and high-altitude water bodies, including Lake Ozonia and Dexter Lake. The inclusion of specific industry landmarks such as Days Mill and the Cooperage Club, alongside various lumbering-related routes like Cooperage Road, points to an economy deeply rooted in timber and milling during this era.
