1902 Map of Indian Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1938

About this map

Indian Lake dominates this Adirondack landscape at the turn of the century, appearing as a slender, winding body of water before later dam projects would further alter the shoreline. The settlement of Speculator stands near the southern edge, serving as a gateway to the surrounding wilderness of the Lake Pleasant district. This late-19th-century survey by H.M. Wilson and his team illustrates a region defined by seasonal outposts and remote camps rather than permanent towns, with Camp Perkins and Camp Comfort situated along key waterways. The drainage patterns of the Jessup River and Kunjamuk River reveal the difficult transit through the high peaks of Snowy Mt and Panther Mt. The inclusion of Wakely Dam at the northwestern corner of the sheet points to early water management efforts on the Cedar River to support the logging and milling industries that shaped Hamilton County.
