1907 Map of Port Leyden

About this map

The Black River valley serves as the central corridor for this 1904–1905 survey, where the New York Central and Hudson River RR (Utica Line) parallels the water to connect vital mill towns and transport hubs. At Lyons Falls, the dramatic confluence of the Black River and the Moose River defines the local economy, anchored by nearby industrial sites like Goulds Mill and Kosterville. The landscape transitions from the fertile valley floor to the elevated forests of the Tug Hill region to the west and the lake-dotted Adirondack foothills to the east.
