1918 Map of Oswegatchie

USGS Topo · Published 1946

About this map

The New York Central and Hudson River RR carves through this northern landscape, connecting industrial outposts like Benson Mines and Jayville during the early twentieth century. This survey records a period of transition where traditional timber and mining operations began to share the wilderness with emerging electrical infrastructure, most notably at the Browns Falls Power Plant and the Maple Hill Dam. The map reveals an intricate network of remote logging and hunting camps, including Streeter Camp and Pattons Camp, scattered across the complex topography of Vrooman Ridge and Blue Mountain. Local educational life is anchored by a system of numbered and named rural schoolhouses, such as the White School and School No 10, serving the small settlements of Fine and Star Lake along the river valleys.
