1895 Map of Sacketts Harbor

USGS Topo · Published 1913

About this map

Madison Barracks and the strategic waterfront of Sacketts Harbor anchor this late 19th-century survey of Jefferson County's shoreline. The map illustrates a complex coastal geography defined by Henderson Bay, Black River Bay, and the prominent peninsula of Pillar Point. Inland, the landscape is a network of small agricultural hubs and family-named junctions such as Stowell Corner and Greens Settlement. The era's heavy reliance on rail is evident in the path of the Rome Watertown and Ogdensburg R. R. and the Carthage Branch, which connected these lakeside communities to the interior of New York. From the lighthouse at Sacketts Harbor L. H. to the milling waters of Sandy Creek, the sheet documents a well-established maritime and rural economy before the full onset of 20th-century modernization.
