1906 Map of Piseco Lake

About this map

Piseco Lake dominates this Adirondack landscape at the opening of the twentieth century, serving as the central drainage for a network of high peaks and backcountry waterways. Small, isolated clearings and settlements like Rudeston and Hoffmeister anchor the few roads in the region, while remote locations such as Powley Place, Averys Place, and Shaker Place suggest a late frontier character defined by logging or seasonal travel. The southern portion of the sheet is marked by the Stratford Oregon Transit Line, a notable historical corridor cutting through the woods toward the hamlet of Oregon.
