1923 Map of Santa Clara

About this map

Santa Clara serves as a central hub in this Franklin County landscape, situated along the New York Central RR and the St Regis River. The 1921 survey reveals a region defined by its timber and rail dependencies, where the Brooklyn RR and Cooperage Road suggest the specialized industries of the era. To the north and east, the terrain rises into prominent peaks like Humbug Mtn and Mt Immortelle, while lower elevations are marked by an intricate network of waterways including Meacham Lake and Lake Titus. Small settlements and outposts like Everton, Duane Center, and McColloms anchor the township boundaries of Malone, Duane, and Brighton. Local genealogy and land history are preserved through numerous family-named landmarks such as Bearcove Hill, Jennings Mtn, and Leboeuf Hill, alongside scattered rural schoolhouses including School No 25.
