1912 Map of Number Four

USGS Topo · Published 1912

About this map

Soft Maple Dam and the surrounding Adirondack wilderness define this landscape, surveyed by Frank Sutton and his team just after the first decade of the twentieth century. The map centers on the border between Herkimer and Lewis counties, capturing a region dominated by a dense network of glacial water bodies and meandering waterways. To the north, the Oswegatchie River and its namesake The Hogs Back terrain feature illustrate the complex drainage patterns of the northern woods. Further south, the terrain rises toward peaks like Stillwater Mtn and Mt Tom, interspersed with expansive lowlands such as Balsam Flats. This era reflects a period of early water management and timber-related geography, where remote ponds like Diana Pond and Gregg Lake remained largely isolated by the dense township boundaries of Watson, Croghan, and Webb.
