1903 Map of Raquette Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1921

About this map

Whitney's Little Forked Lake and the massive Brandreth Lake anchor this 1899 survey of the Adirondack interior. The landscape is a dense network of water and high peaks, where early tourism and private preserves began to shape the region's character. A notable Steamboat Route cuts through the central waters, linking remote points like Pine Knot Pt. and indicating the primary mode of travel before established road networks. The map details numerous named summits such as Salmon Lake Mt. and Niggerhead Mt. alongside smaller, secluded bodies of water like Antediluvian Pond and Flatfish Pond. The inclusion of Fish Camp and various unnamed camps suggests the era's reliance on seasonal outposts for hunting and resource management within Hamilton County.
