About this map

Worth Center anchors the northern reaches of this 1943 survey, a region defined by the convergence of Oswego, Jefferson, and Lewis counties. The landscape is dominated by the sprawling Littlejohn State Game Refuge, where the terrain transitions from the headwaters of the Mad River to the dense network of tributaries including Abijah Creek and Cottrell Creek. This era of management by the War Department and the Tennessee Valley Authority highlights a sparsely settled timber and recreation territory.

Local landmarks such as School No 4 and a prominent Lookout Tower near the settlement of Littlejohn provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing upland homesteads or early conservation efforts. The map meticulously details the intricate drainage patterns of the Tug Hill plateau, showing the sources of the West Branch Deer River and Pigeon Creek as they cut through the townships of Worth, Montague, and Redfield.
