1901 Map of Elizabethtown

About this map

Elizabethtown and the high peaks of the eastern Adirondacks define this 1892 survey, which captures the region before the widespread modernization of the mid-20th century. The landscape is dominated by massive elevations like Hurricane Mtn and Giant Mtn, but the human geography is most evident in the industrial pockets of Moriah and Mineville. In the southeast, the iron-rich hills are threaded by the L. C. & M. R. R., serving the mining communities of Witherbee and Moriah Center.
