1900 Map of Bolton

About this map

Bolton Landing and the surrounding Adirondack landscape of the 1890s are defined by the Steamboat Route winding through Lake George. This reconnaissance survey by Henry Gannett and his team illustrates a period when the lake was a primary transit corridor, connecting Bolton and Hague with isolated points like Sabbathday Point and Huletts Landing. The map reveals a high concentration of named summits, including Black Mt. and Elephant Mt., which loom over the deep bays and islands of the Northwest Bay.
