1901 Map of Old Forge
USGS Topo · Published 1909About this map
Old Forge serves as the gateway to the central Adirondack wilderness in this early century survey, which highlights the area's transition into a premier recreation destination. The Fulton Chain R. R. and the N. Y. C. and H. R. R. R. (Adirondack Division) define the transportation network, connecting remote camps and lodges to the outside world. This map documents a unique era of travel, specifically marking the Steamboat Route and First Route through the Chain Lakes, showing how water and rail worked in tandem before the age of the automobile.
