1903 Map of Blue Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1942

About this map

The Steamboat Route winding through Long Lake and the Raquette River defines the transport network of this central Adirondack wilderness at the turn of the century. Surveyed between 1899 and 1900, the map illustrates a landscape of major water bodies and early settlements like Blue Mountain Lake and Indian Lake. Notable landmarks such as the Forest House and Tewahloondah suggest the era's growing hospitality and estate culture, while features like Rolling Dam on the Rock River and various marshes like Thirtyfour Marsh point to the region's logging and hydraulic history. The detailed topography centers on the 3,759-foot peak of Blue Mt. and surrounding heights like Buck Mt. and Mt. Sabattis. This document records the complex network of ponds and river flows, from Utowana Lake to the Cedar River, before later development altered many of these backcountry routes.
