2010 Map of Wells

About this map

Speculator and Wells anchor the northern and southern reaches of this Hamilton County landscape, connected by the corridor of the Sacandaga River. The geography is defined by a dense network of water bodies and peaks, including the expansive Lake Pleasant in the northwest and the reservoir-like Lake Algonquin to the south. Small settlements like Gilmantown are situated along the Gilmantown Rd corridor, while the Bostrups Landing Seaplane Base near Camp of the Woods highlights the area's specialized transportation and recreation history. The terrain is marked by notable elevations such as Cutknife Mountain, Mount Overrocker, and Pettit Mountain, which hem in the river valleys. Local transportation is mapped through a series of historical routes, including Old Rte 30 and Old State Rd, tracing the early infrastructure that served these mountain communities.
