1901 Map of Elizabethtown

About this map

Elizabethtown serves as the focal point for this turn-of-the-century landscape, where the Bouquet River carves through the central valley. The topography is dominated by the Adirondack peaks, including Hurricane Mtn. and Giant Mtn., creating a geography where development is concentrated along narrow river corridors and gap settlements. To the southeast, the industrial character of the era is evident in Mineville, a significant mining community connected to the outer world via the L. C. & M. R. R. (Lake Champlain and Moriah Railroad).
