1910 Map of Stony Creek

About this map

West Stony Creek PO and the surrounding Adirondack wilderness appear here in a landscape defined by isolated settlements and early hunting camps. Surveyed before the major flooding of the Sacandaga River valley, the map documents a network of small hamlets like Hope Falls, Bakertown, and Tennantville that served the local timber and tanning industries. The terrain is marked by family-named peaks such as Rand Mtn and Georgia Mta, while the presence of locations like Wadsworth Camp and Olmstead Camp reflects the region's early 20th-century character as a destination for sportsmen. The Oregon Trail cuts across the northern reaches, a reminder of the historical migration and logging routes that once bypassed the dense interior forests near Wilcox Lake and Murphy Lake.
