1903 Map of Big Moose

USGS Topo · Published 1906

About this map

The New York Central and Hudson River R. R. cuts through this high-altitude landscape, defining the early 20th-century development of the region. This survey, conducted shortly after the turn of the century by H.M. Wilson and his team, shows a remote network of waterways and early rail stops where transit was as much about the water as the iron rail. The Steamboat Route connecting through the Chain Lake system at Eagle Bay and Inlet illustrates how navigation and tourism began to open the wilderness. Beyond the rail line, the map is dominated by named water bodies like Big Crooked Lake, Lake Lila, and the sprawling Big Burnt Lake. Peaks such as Twitchell Mt. and Bald Mountain provide topographical context for the complex drainages of the Independence River and Shingle Shanty Brook.
