1901 Map of Newcomb

USGS Topo · Published 1938

About this map

The upper reaches of the Hudson River define this high-country landscape at the turn of the century, where the river meets the Newcomb River amidst a dense network of lakes and glacial ponds. Settlement is sparse, anchored by the town of Newcomb and the industrial outpost at Tahawus, with much of the interior territory utilized for logging and private recreational camps. Notable amongst these are the Northwoods Club and the Clubhouse near Moose Pond, reflecting the era's emerging outdoor tourism economy. The map illustrates a transitional period in Adirondack history, recording remote outposts like Aiden Lair and Gooley before modern accessibility. Between peaks like Vanderwhacker Mt. and Goodnow Mt., the terrain is marked by numerous water bodies including Rich Lake, Harris Lake, and Balfour Pond, connected by narrow streams and seasonal trails like Ord Falls.
