1901 Map of Old Forge
USGS Topo · Published 1924About this map
Old Forge serves as the gateway to the Fulton Chain Park lakes during this era of burgeoning Adirondack tourism and wilderness industry. The landscape is defined by the early transit network of the Mohawk and Malone RR and the Adirondack Division, which facilitated the growth of remote outpost settlements like Atwell and seasonal retreats. A distinctive Steamboat Route is marked across First Lake, Second Lake, Third Lake, and Fourth Lake, highlighting the era's reliance on waterborne travel to reach isolated destinations such as Mountain Lodge and Bishy Lodge.
