1898 Map of Thirteenth Lake

About this map

Moores Mine sits perched on the northern slopes of Gore Mt., marking the industrial extraction typical of the central Adirondack region at the turn of the century. This survey documents a landscape defined by its high peaks and intricate waterways, where small settlements like Bakers Mills and Garnet established themselves along the narrow valleys. The map illustrates the complex hydrology of the high country, from the expansive Thirteenth Lake to the isolated Siamese Ponds and the headwaters of the Hudson River near the town of Chester.
