About this map

Stony Creek and the surrounding Adirondack wilderness appear here in a transition between logging-era settlements and early 20th-century recreation. The landscape is defined by the East Stony Creek and the Sacandaga River, showing a network of small hamlets like Bakertown and Harrisburg that supported local mountain economies. Numerous named camps such as Wadsworth Camp and Olmstead Camp are peppered throughout the high country, reflecting the region's growing role as a destination for seasonal visitors.

Tracing the path of the Oregon Trail through the northern section of the map reveals the historic routes used before modern infrastructure dominated the terrain. Local genealogists will find value in the specific placement of forgotten post offices and remote settlements like Hope Falls and Tennantville, while the detailed contouring highlights the prominence of peaks like Tenant Mtn and Ohmer Mtn.
