About this map

Old Forge serves as a gateway to the central Adirondacks at the turn of the century, positioned where the Fulton Chain R.R. meets the waters of First Lake. The landscape is defined by the early development of wilderness retreats and logging infrastructure, with Mountain Lodge and Bisby Lodge establishing a presence for seasonal residents and sportsmen. The map highlights a complex network of waterways including the Middle Branch Moose River and the chain of Bisby Lakes, which provided essential transportation routes for the region's burgeoning timber and tourism industries.
