1903 Map of West Canada Lakes

USGS Topo · Published 1944

About this map

The Plains stretch across this pocket of Hamilton County, surrounded by a dense network of water bodies and high peaks. Surveyed at the end of the 19th century, the area is defined by the headwaters of the South Branch Moose River and the Cedar River, providing a look at the Adirondack interior before the widespread infrastructure of the modern era. Early backcountry outposts like Kenwells and Pillsbury Lake Camp are recorded alongside family-named peaks such as Wakely Mt. and Bradley Mt.. The map illustrates a landscape primarily shaped by logging and early wilderness recreation, centered on the Fulton Chain Lakes and the winding course of the Stillwater River. The isolation of these mountain camps and the intricate network of brooks like Sumner Brook and Butter Brook indicate a territory where travel was dictated by seasonal water flows and narrow forest trails.
