1898 Map of Thirteenth Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1942

About this map

The Hudson River flows through the northeast corner of this Adirondack landscape, where the townships of Johnsburg, Indian Lake, and Thurman converge. Surveyed in the late 19th century, the map reveals a wilderness defined by high peaks and remote water bodies like Thirteenth Lake and the Siamese Ponds. While the terrain is dominated by summits such as Gore Mt. and Eleventh Mt., human industry appears at the settlement of Bakers Mills and the Moores Mine north of the Gore massif. The southern portion is drained by the East Branch Sacandaga River, showing a complex network of brooks and ponds including Lizard Pond and Cod Pond. This survey documents the region before modern development, capturing the original footprint of small hamlets like Garnet and the early carriage roads that connected these isolated mountain outposts.
