1906 Map of Piseco Lake

About this map

Piseco Lake and its surrounding Adirondack wilderness are depicted here during the first years of the twentieth century. The map centers on the central Hamilton County highlands, where small outposts like Piseco, Rudeston, and Hoffmeister served as rare nodes of human activity in a landscape defined by water and elevation. The distribution of family-named landmarks like Powley Place, Avery Place, and Shaker Place suggests a network of early camps and dwellings connected by primitive tracks.
