1903 Map of Raquette Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

Raquette River and its surrounding watershed define this turn-of-the-century portrait of the central Adirondacks, surveyed by A.M. Walker and H.M. Wilson. The landscape is dominated by an intricate network of waterways, including the expansive Brandreth Lake and Forked Lake, connected by ancient portages and outlets. This map documents early recreational and seasonal settlement patterns before modern development, noting established camps and private points like Stott's and Antlers. The presence of labels such as St.Hubert I. and Whitney's Little Forked Lake reflects the era of private estates and early mountain retreats. From the high peaks of Blue Pleasant Ridge to the secluded Lake Lila, the map captures a primitive wilderness state where navigation was primarily by water and specialized trails like the Carry were vital for movement between the many interior ponds.
