1903 Map of Lassellsville

USGS Topo · Published 1938

About this map

Lassellsville and the surrounding southern Adirondack foothills appear here at the turn of the century, characterized by a transition from industrial valley towns to upland wilderness. The landscape is defined by the drainage of Moose Creek, Middle Sprite, and the East Canada Creek system, which historically powered numerous small-scale operations. Evidence of early settlement patterns remains visible in places like Glasgow Mills and Newkirk Mills, while higher elevations in the north are dominated by an intricate network of water bodies such as Canada Lake, Spectacle Lakes, and Ayres Lake. Genealogists may find value in the specific naming of crossroads and hamlets like Irish Settlement, Phipps Cors., and Dempster Corners, many of which have shifted in prominence since the 1901 survey. The terrain rises sharply from the Mohawk Valley toward peaks like Royal Hill and Rooster Hill, marking the edge of the Adirondack wilderness.
