1997 Map of Wells

USGS Topo · Published 1999

About this map

Sacandaga Lake and Lake Pleasant dominate this high-elevation landscape within the Adirondack Park, reflecting the region's late-20th-century character as a recreational and wilderness hub. The settlement at Speculator serves as a focal point near the northern shore, while the community of Wells sits further south along the banks of Lake Algonquin. The map illustrates a complex network of water bodies and dramatic topography, from the shoreline of Moffitt Beach to the heights of Dunham Mountain and Fish Mountain. Recreation-based infrastructure is evident through the inclusion of the Snowmobile Trail and Hamilton Lake Trail, alongside the religious and social landmark of Camp of the Woods. Numerous brooks and ponds, such as Sucker Brook and Dunning Pond, feed into the Sacandaga River, showing the intricate drainage patterns of this mountain terrain.
