1916 Map of Oswegatchie

USGS Topo · Published 1916

About this map

The Oswegatchie River and its numerous branches dominate this 1916 survey of the western Adirondack highlands. The landscape is defined by the industrial activity at Benson Mines and Jayville, connected by the Carthage and Adirondack Branch of the New York Central Railroad. While the topography is dominated by peaks like Blue Mtn and Vrooman Ridge, the presence of numerous sporting and lumber camps such as Scullens Camp, Bassett Camp, and Humes Camp indicates a region balancing resource extraction with early 20th-century wilderness recreation. Settled nodes like Fine and Star Lake serve as anchors along the river system, while the Browns Fall Power Plant highlights the early harnessing of water power for regional industry.
