1907 Map of Tupper Lake

About this map

Piercefield and its industrial surroundings center this survey, showing the complex interaction between water power and rail transit in the Adirondack interior. The New York Central and Hudson River Railroad cuts a winding path through the lake-heavy landscape, supporting isolated outposts like Childwold Sta and Robinwood. Significant logging and recreational interests are evident through features like the Grass River Club and the extensive Piercefield Flow on the Raquette River. The geography is defined by an intricate network of waterways including Massawepie Lake and Horseshoe Lake, while the convergence of three county lines at the southeastern corner of Tupper Lake highlights the region's jurisdictional complexity during this era of early 20th-century development.
