1908 Map of Loon Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1940

About this map

Salmon River headwaters and a complex network of turn-of-the-century railroads define this portion of the northern Adirondacks. The map captures the intersection of multiple rail lines, including the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad and the Delaware and Hudson Railroad, which serviced the seasonal tourism and local industries of the day. Early settlements and post offices like Loon Lake PO and Inman PO appear alongside significant transportation corridors like the Port Kent and Hopkinton Turnpike. The landscape is dominated by named ranges such as the Plumadore Range and the Goldsmith Mtns, interspersed with numerous high-altitude water bodies including Ragged Lake and Mountain View Lake. These labels reflect the early 1900s transition from a timber-driven economy to one focused on recreation and sport, evidenced by landmarks like Hunter Home and Walker Mill.
