About this map

The Redfield settlement and its surrounding river valleys define this 1960 survey of northern New York, characterized by a vast State Reforestation Area and the dramatic expansion of the Salmon River Reservoir. The reservoir itself is marked by distinctive features like Huckleberry Island and Burdick Island, while the northern portion of the map is dominated by the winding course of the Mad River.

Industry and local history are etched into the landscape at Otto Mills and the nearby Mad River Falls. Evidence of local extraction is visible at several quarries near the town center, and genealogical interest is found at Myrtle Cem on the outskirts of the village. The drainage network is particularly dense here, with numerous named tributaries such as Grindstone Brook, Cold Brook, and Muddy Branch feeding into the primary river systems. A network of local tracks and drives like Waterbury Road and Ohara Road provides a view of the rural infrastructure during this mid-century period.
