1901 Map of Newcomb

About this map

The upper Hudson River watershed defines this Adirondack landscape at the turn of the century, showing a region structured by water and wilderness. The small settlement of Newcomb sits at the northern edge, serving as a gateway to a dense network of lakes and ponds like Rich Lake and Harris Lake. Further south, the map reveals the social geography of the era through sites like the Northwoods Club and the Clubhouse near Bissell Pond, reflecting the Adirondacks' role as a premier destination for early sporting and outdoor recreation societies.
