WMS Map: Forked Mountain - 1907/1910
About Forked Mountain - 1907/1910 ....
Prior to the 1920s, there was no road developed along the east side of the Scanadaga River north of wells heading up to Speculator, just a foot path. What would become NY 8 would run along the south-east side of East Branch of the Scanadaga River, and Gilmantown Road was the main route from Wells to Spectulator.
