About this map

The Raquette River winds through this northern New York landscape, anchoring a network of mid-century industrial and agricultural settlements. During the early 1940s, the region was defined by a dense intersection of rail lines, including the Norwood and St Lawrence, New York Central, and Rutland railroads. These transit corridors linked the riverside communities of Raymondville, Norfolk, and Norwood, which served as local hubs for commerce and transport.

Rural education and community life are well-documented across the townships of Norfolk and Stockholm. A series of numbered schoolhouses, such as School No 2 and School No 13, appear alongside established family landmarks like Bixby Cem and Hale Cem. The map provides a clear look at the era's settlement patterns, from the organized streets of North Stockholm (Knapps Station) to the elevated terrain of Marble Hill and Wilbur Hill.
