1907 Map of Tupper Lake

About this map

The Racquette River and New York Central railroad corridor define the industrial and transit landscape of the central Adirondacks at the turn of the century. The village of Piercefield serves as a primary hub of activity, supported by Piercefield Sta and the nearby Childwold Sta along the rail line. This 1907 survey captures a period when isolated outposts like the Usher Farm and the settlement at Horseshoe relied on these iron arteries for connection to the outside world. To the south, the community of Long Lake West Sabattis P.O. stands as a notable waypoint for travelers and mail. The map meticulously documents the transition from the river-driven economy to rail, featuring prominent peaks such as Arab Mtn and Loon Pond Mtn that overlook a complex network of waterways including Tupper Lake and Massawepie Lake.
