About this map

The Salmon River Reservoir dominates the lower landscape of this 1960 survey, its waters surrounding Huckleberry Island and Burdick Island. Near the spillway, the village of Redfield serves as a local hub, with the Myrtle Cem located just to the north. The area is characterized by heavy forestation, much of it designated as a State Reforestation Area, cut through by numerous trout streams and brooks such as Prince Brook and Stony Brook.

Tracing north, the Mad River winds through the hills, featuring Mad River Falls and the tight curve of Horseshoe Bend. The settlement of Otto Mills sits in the northern reaches, connected to the surrounding countryside by roads like Castor Drive and Old State Road. This map captures a rural New York economy transitioning from traditional milling and timber toward recreation and resource conservation, marked by active Quarries and remote Jeep Trails.
