1910 Map of Stony Creek

About this map

Stony Creek flows through a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and high Adirondack peaks at the turn of the century. The map centers on the tri-county corner of Hamilton, Warren, and Saratoga, where the Sacandaga River and its East Branch serve as primary drainage for the surrounding heights. Small settlements like Harrisburg West Stony Creek PO and Bakertown appear along valley floors, connected by a network of early trails and roads such as the Oregon Trail. Remote logging and sporting outposts, including Wadsworth Camp, Olmstead Camp, and Brownell Camp, are established near water bodies like Murphy Lake and Wilcox Lake. The southeastern quadrant reveals the early layout of West Day and Tenantville along the winding Beecher Creek, reflecting the late-era industrial and residential patterns before significant modern landscape modifications in the southern Adirondacks.
