About this map

The Raquette River and West Branch St. Regis River carve through this landscape in St. Lawrence County, providing the water power that drove the development of towns like Potsdam and Parishville. In the early twentieth century, the region's economy is clearly defined by its industrial geography, with the New York Central Railroad connecting northern settlements while numerous falls, such as Allens Falls and Whitaker Falls, mark the transition into the Adirondack foothills.
