About this map

Benson Mines and the surrounding wilderness of the Adirondack foothills define this region during the height of its early 20th-century industrial activity. The New York Central railroad, specifically the Carthage and Adirondack Branch, provides the vital link for moving raw materials from the interior. Evidence of heavy utility and resource management is clear at the Browns Fall Power Plant and Maple Hill Dam, while remote settlements like Jayville and Aldrich anchor local life alongside numerous logging and sporting camps such as Streeter Camps and Humes Camp.
