About this map

Adirondack State Park dominates this mid-century landscape where Hamilton and Fulton Counties meet. The southern portion of Arietta and the northern reaches of Stratford and Caroga are defined by a complex network of glacial water bodies, from the prominent Canada Lake and West Lake to the secluded Broomstick Lake and Nine Corner Lake. Evidence of early industrial and recreational activity is visible at Waters Millpond and the settlement of Stewart Landing along Sprite Creek. High points like Kane Mtn and Rooster Hill overlook a terrain marked by numerous vlys and ponds, including Tamarack Vly and the Spectacle Lakes. This survey shows the region just after the war, detailing the footpaths and secondary roads that connected these shorelines before more modern development altered the remote character of the southern Adirondacks.
