About this map

The settlement of Redfield and the sprawling Salmon River Reservoir dominate this 1960s landscape in upstate New York. The reservoir is a central feature, containing islands such as Huckleberry Island and Burdick Island, while its engineering is marked by the Spillway Elev 937. Much of the surrounding territory is managed as State Reforestation Area, reflecting the transition of former agricultural or timber lands back into protected forest.

Industry and local history are etched into the terrain at Otto Mills and near the Mad River Falls, where the Mad River flows through the prominent Horseshoe Bend. Genealogists and local historians can locate Myrtle Cem near the town center and trace old routes like Waterbury Road and Harvester Road. The presence of several quarries near the river indicates the local extraction economy that operated alongside these waterways and woodlands.
