1947 Map of North Wilmurt

About this map

North Wilmurt and the surrounding wilderness of the southwestern Adirondacks appear here in a landscape defined by seasonal camps and early roads. The boundary between Herkimer Co and Oneida Co bisects a terrain of high ridges and winding waterways, where the Black River and Little Woodhull Creek drain the western slopes. Isolated settlements like Wheelertown and Enos are small focal points in a region largely dedicated to logging and sporting life, as evidenced by Stone Dam Lake Camp and Lyons Camp. Significant landmarks like Wheelertown Cem and the naming of local heights such as Finn Hill and Party Hill provide clear markers for genealogical research and local history. The road network, including Bellingertown Road, suggests the movement of goods and people between these remote mountain outposts and the larger valley towns to the south.
