1946 Map of North Wilmurt

About this map

Adirondack Park land dominates this 1946 landscape, where the headwaters of the Black River carve through the heavily forested terrain of Herkimer County. Small, isolated settlements like Wheelertown and Enos serve as anchors in a region defined by its water and woods. The network of drainage is dense, including Muskrat Brook, Hare Brook, and the North Branch, all feeding into the larger river systems. Higher elevations are marked by Stone Dam Mtn and Forty Mountain, while the valley floors are dotted with numerous small bodies of water such as Mink Lake and Deep Lake. Local history is preserved at the Wheelertown Cem, and the presence of Lyons Camp indicates the area's long-standing connection to seasonal logging or recreation. This survey captures the interior wilderness before later mid-century developments altered the character of these remote Adirondack outposts.
