1903 Map of West Canada Lakes

USGS Topo · Published 1937

About this map

The Moose River and the Stillwater River dominate this turn-of-the-century topographic landscape in Hamilton County, highlighting a wilderness defined by water and high peaks before modern development. The remote settlement of Kenwells stands as a rare human outpost in a region primarily used for timbering and outdoor recreation. A notable geographic feature is The Plains, an area characterized by unique terrain near Helldiver Pond and Icehouse Pond. The map also traces the Crossfield Line, an important surveying boundary that cuts through the mountains near Cobble Hill. To the north, the Fulton Chain Lakes begin with Seventh Lake, reflecting the early importance of these interconnected waterways for travel through the Adirondack interior. Mountain peaks such as Wakely Mt. and Cellar Mt. provide a detailed look at the verticality of the Inlet and Arietta boundary lands during the late Victorian era.
