1902 Map of Wilmurt

About this map

West Canada Creek and its branches serve as the primary drainage for this stretch of the Adirondacks, where late nineteenth-century surveying reveals a landscape defined by logging interests and early reservoir development. The settlement of Wilmurt sits at a central junction of mountain roads, surrounded by small upland hamlets including Nobleboro, Ohio, and Morehouseville. To the north, the Twin Lakes Reservoir on the Black River reflects the era's focus on water management and hydraulic power for downriver industries.
