1997 Map of Dutton Mountain

About this map

Adirondack Park terrain dominates this 1997 survey, where the Cedar River and Hudson River corridor define the landscape of the Newcomb, Minerva, and Indian Lake townships. Private recreational history is prominent on this map, which identifies established grounds like the Gooley Club and Northwoods Club, alongside youth camps such as Camp Che-na-wah and Camp Baco. The area's complex hydrology is visible in the numerous high-elevation water bodies like OK Slip Pond and Big Bad Luck Pond, which feed into dramatic drops including the OK Slip Falls and Virgin Falls. Local industrial traces are noted at Crusher Hill, while the rugged relief is punctuated by summits like Harris Rift Mountain and Black Mountain. This survey provides a record of the remote interior of Essex County before the turn of the millennium.
