1905 Map of Orwell

USGS Topo · Published 1937

About this map

The Salmon River and its dramatic Salmon Falls carve through this upland section of the Tug Hill region during the first years of the twentieth century. This area, spanning the borders of Oswego, Jefferson, and Lewis counties, shows a landscape defined by isolated agricultural hamlets and small-scale milling operations that relied on the steep gradients of the local waterways. Small clusters like Otto Mills and Smartville appear as vital local centers for timber and farming, while the North Branch Salmon River winds south through the heart of the terrain to meet the main river channel near Redfield.
