1902 Map of Wilmurt

About this map

The Black River and its various branches dominate this late nineteenth-century landscape, carving through the dense network of water bodies and hills at the turn of the century. Small settlements such as Wilmurt and Nobleboro are positioned along the West Canada Creek, serving as focal points for the dispersed upland population. The topography is defined by significant elevations like Ft. Noble Mt. and Baldface Mt., while the southern reaches near Gray and Ohio show a transition toward more frequent road networks. A notable geographic feature is the prominence of vlys and flys, such as Wilder Fly and Hall Vly, indicating the marshy bottomlands common to this region. For the researcher, the map preserves the exact alignment of early county lines and boundaries between townships like Salisbury and Norway, alongside numerous secluded ponds like Tom Kettle Lake and Spectacle Lake.
