1902 Map of Mt. Marcy

USGS Topo · Published 1907

About this map

Mt. Marcy and the high peaks of the High Peaks region are documented here in detail from surveys conducted in the early 1890s. The landscape is defined by the Adirondack Mountain Reserve, where drainage patterns flow from high alpine waters like Lake Tear and Lake Colden toward the Opalescent River and Boreas River. Settlement is concentrated in the northeast corner at Keene Valley and Beede, while the northwestern area features Adirondack Lodge near Mt. Jo. This map captures a transitional era in the Adirondacks, showing established mountain camps and early tourism infrastructure before modern development. Notable landmarks such as Rooster Comb, Gothic Mt., and the Mac Intyre Mountains provide clear reference points for those tracing the history of recreation and preservation in Essex County.
