1903 Map of Big Moose

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

Big Moose Lake and the upper reaches of the Beaver River Flow dominate this 1903 survey, capturing the northern Adirondack wilderness before extensive modern development. The landscape is defined by the New York Central and Hudson River R. R., which follows the Adirondack Division through isolated depots at Brandreth, Beaver River, and Woods Lake. These rail stops, alongside the steamboat routes on Fourth Lake and Big Moose Lake, were the primary lifelines for the region's early sporting camps and timber interests. The map delineates the Totten and Crossfield Line, reflecting the complex historical surveying of these vast tracts. Significant landmarks for local history include the remote Lake Nehasane and the clusters of activity at Big Moose and Eagle Bay, providing a clear look at the area's transition into a destination for wilderness tourism.
