1915 Map of Number Four

USGS Topo · Published 1938

About this map

The remote settlement of Number Four serves as the central hub of this wilderness landscape, situated at the crossroads of the Watson and New Bremen township lines. Surveyed shortly before the Great War and reprinted in the late 1930s, the map reveals an intricate network of Adirondack hydrology, from the northern Oswegatchie River to the southern reaches of the Independence River. The development of local water resources is evident through landmarks like the Soft Maple Dam and Silver Mine Dam, while the Sunday Creek Reservoir marks a significant alteration to the natural drainage. This interior region, spanning the Lewis and Herkimer County line, is defined by its glacial features, including the prominent Hogs Back ridge and dozens of isolated water bodies such as Francis Lake and Crooked Lake. The terrain rises sharply toward Stillwater Mtn and Mt Tom, illustrating the transition from swampy lowlands to high woodland peaks.
