1921 Map of Santa Clara

About this map

Santa Clara serves as a central hub in this Franklin County landscape, where the New York Central RR and the Brooklyn Cooperage RR meet along the Deer River. The region is defined by its industrial and recreational character within the Adirondack Park, featuring isolated settlements like Everton and Reynoldston alongside numerous logging or service rails. Further south, the map reveals a network of high-elevation peaks including Jennings Mtn and Blue Mtn, the latter hosting the Blue Mtn House. The presence of several numbered schoolhouses, such as School No 25 and McCollom School, points to a distributed rural population during this era. Large water bodies like Lake Titus and Lake Duane anchor the northeastern sections, while the interior is a dense maze of ponds and swamps, such as Jennings Swamp and Madawaska Pond, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the Northern Adirondacks.
