View of Schroon Mountain Essex County New — Antique Map Print

Schroon Mountain rises above Schroon Lake in Essex County, in the heart of New York's Adirondack Mountains, a region that remained largely wilderness until the mid-19th century when railroads and steamboats opened it to tourists seeking fresh mountain air and dramatic scenery. The Hudson River School painters, including Thomas Cole, were drawn to the Adirondacks' rugged peaks and clear lakes, helping popularize the region as one of America's first great wilderness tourist destinations. Illustrated views like this one, often included as insets in county atlases, helped advertise the Adirondacks' scenic appeal to travelers from New York City and beyond.
