1901 Map of Newcomb

USGS Topo · Published 1905

About this map

The Hudson River carves a deep path through the southern half of this Adirondack quadrangle, joined by the Boreas River in a landscape dominated by timber and early recreation. The settlement of Newcomb serves as the central hub near Harris Lake and Rich Lake, while the remote hamlet of Tahawus sits to the northeast. This 1890s survey by H.M. Wilson captures the region before large-scale modernization, showing the established Northwoods Club and the isolated Clubhouse near Moose Pond. The terrain is defined by a dense network of family-named peaks and remote waters, including Vanderwhacker Mt. and Goodenow Mt.. These mountain names, alongside features like Aiden Lair and Gooley, reflect the early stage of seasonal hunting and fishing camps that would define the Essex County backcountry for over a century.
