1958 Map of Redwood

About this map

Butterfield Lake and a series of smaller glacial basins dominate this landscape in Jefferson County, where the village of Redwood serves as a central hub. The area shows a complex transition from the St Lawrence River shoreline at Goose Bay to the inland waters of Millsite Lake and Sixberry Lake. Transport and settlement patterns follow the limestone-rich terrain, with the Penn Central Railroad corridor cutting past the State Boat Launching Site at the edge of town. Local family history is preserved in small burial grounds like Barnes Cem and McDonald Cem, while outlying hamlets like Plessis and Skinners Corners anchor the rural road network. The southern reaches are characterized by the winding Indian River and the protected lands of the Indian River Wildlife Management Area, reflecting the region's historical reliance on both water power and seasonal recreation.
