1900 Map of Bolton

About this map

Northwest Bay and the narrow, island-dotted waters of Lake George dominate this 1900 survey of the Adirondack foothills. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of high summits and isolated water bodies, where Tongue Mountain and Black Mt. loom over the primary steamboat thoroughfares. The local economy and transportation at the turn of the century are anchored by landings such as Bolton Landing, Sabbathday Point, and Huletts Landing, which served as vital connections for goods and passengers before the dominance of modern roadways.
