1898 Map of Thirteenth Lake

About this map

The Hudson River flows across the northern reaches of this late-19th-century Adirondack survey, carving through a landscape defined by the intersection of Minerva, Johnsburg, and Indian Lake. At a time before extensive modern development, the settlement at Bakers Mills stands as the primary outpost in a region dominated by high peaks and water systems. To the west, the Sacandaga River and Shanty Brook drain the dense topography south of Thirteenth Lake.
