About this map

Santa Clara and its industrial surroundings define this early twentieth-century survey of the northern Adirondacks. The landscape is marked by the presence of the New York Central Brooklyn Cooperage R R, which winds along the St Regis River, indicating the era's active timber and cooperage operations. Small settlements such as Everton, Reynoldston, and Madawaska are connected by a network of early transit routes, including the Cooperage Road.

Remote outposts like Blue Mtn House and McColloms suggest the early development of North Country tourism and seasonal residency. The map provides clear evidence of the region's rural infrastructure, with numerous rural schoolhouses such as School No 7 and the Fayetteville School scattered among the peaks of Goodnow Mtn and Orebed Mtn. Extensive water bodies, from the prominent Meacham Lake and Lake Titus to the smaller Gourdshell Ponds, illustrate the complex drainage of the Deer River and East Branch St Regis River.
