Description
The Massena Observer wrote in 1938 that the vast majority of municipalities in St. Lawrence County, New York had sponsored relief projects with the federal Works Progress Administration (WPA). Among the towns in which the WPA had worked to ‘reconstruct’ roads was Clifton, represented on the map here by the village of Newton Falls.
