1948 Map of Ogdensburg
USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
The St Lawrence River serves as the international boundary on this mid-century survey, dividing the bustling industrial corridors of northern New York from Ontario. In the western reaches, the industrial footprints of Massena and Ogdensburg contrast with the dense wilderness of Adirondack Park to the south and east. The map captures a transition in transit, documenting the extensive rail networks of the New York Central RR and Rutland RR alongside early state highways like NY 3 and NY 11b. In the highlands, the peaks of Whiteface Mountain and Mt Marcy tower over established resort communities at Lake Placid and Saranac Lake. Evidence of the region's extraction economy is visible through the Iron Mines and Talc Mines near Gouverneur, while the massive Pine Camp Military Reservation occupies a significant tract in the southwest corner.
