1897 Map of North Creek

About this map

The Hudson River carves a deep valley through the southern Adirondacks, serving as the primary corridor for the Delaware and Hudson R R. This rail line connects small mountain settlements like Riverside and Riparius to North Creek, reflecting the importance of both timber and early tourism at the close of the nineteenth century. Surrounding the river valley, the terrain is defined by prominent peaks including Crane Mountain and Huckleberry Mountain, while to the east, the Stage Route winds past Schroon Lake toward Pottersville.
