1970 Map of Augerhole Falls

About this map

The West Branch St Regis River winds through this heavily forested section of the Adirondack State Park near the intersection of Hopkinton, Waverly, and Altamont. In the early 1970s, the landscape remained largely defined by water and primitive access, centered on remote outposts like Wolf Pond Camp and Augerhole Camp. The geography is characterized by numerous small ponds and lakes, including Amber Lake, Jordan Lake, and Wolf Pond, connected by a network of named brooks and inlets. Navigation across the terrain relied heavily on a series of marked trails and jeep trails, reflecting the area's preservation as part of the State Forest Preserve. Notable hydraulic features such as Augerhole Falls and High Falls mark the descent of the river system, providing landmarks for local exploration and woodcraft in this wilderness corridor.
