1902 Map of Indian Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1902

About this map

Indian Lake and the high peaks of Hamilton Co. dominate this landscape, documented just before the Adirondack Park’s rapid 20th-century development. The waterway of the Cedar River winds through the northwestern corner past Wakely Dam, while the central portion is defined by the massive Snowy Mt. and the sprawling waters of Lewey Lake. Settlement is sparse, represented by seasonal outposts such as Camp Perkins and Camp Comfort, alongside the permanent village of Speculator at the southern edge. The map captures a wilderness era where the local economy centered on early tourism and natural resources, evidenced by the Hatchery on Whiskey Brook. From the heights of Blue Ridge to the secluded Mason Lake, the drainage patterns of the Miami River and Kunjamuk Creek illustrate the complex watershed of this central Adirondack region.
