1951 Map of Remington Corners

About this map

Jerden Falls and several remote crossroads settlements anchor this mid-century survey of the Adirondack foothills along the Diana and Croghan town line. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the West Branch Oswegatchie River and its tributary, the Middle Branch Oswegatchie River, which historically supported local industry at sites like Kimball Mill and Bishas Mill. The area is characterized by a high concentration of named wetlands and ridges, including Sunday Swamp, Carley Swamp, and Brushy Ridge. Local travel in the 1950s relied on a network of narrow routes such as Pigtown Road and Hogsback Rd, connecting isolated homesteads at Tylers Corners and Dutton Corners. To the east, the terrain rises toward Panther Mtn, illustrating the transition from river-bottom swamps to the more prominent peaks of the northern forest.
