1895 Map of Sacketts Harbor

USGS Topo · Published 1899

About this map

Madison Barracks stands as a prominent military installation overlooking Black River Bay in this 1893 survey of Jefferson County. The strategic importance of the shoreline is evident in the cluster of maritime and military landmarks around Sacketts Harbor, including the Sacketts Harbor L. H. and the rugged coastal formations of Pillar Point and Horse Id. Inland, the landscape is defined by the burgeoning rail network of the Rome Watertown and Ogdensburg R. R., which links agricultural hubs like Adams Center and Adams. Smaller social clusters such as Greens Settlement, Thomas Settlement, and Hungerford Corners provide a detailed look at late 19th-century rural life, while the many creeks—Sandy Creek, Stony Creek, and Muskalonge Creek—suggest the water power that once fueled local milling operations.
