About this map

Big Moose Lake and the dense water networks of the central Adirondacks define this late twentieth-century landscape. The map details the transition from the settlement at Big Moose to the high-elevation backcountry of the Adirondack Park, where peaks like Twitchell Mtn and Browns Rock overlook a landscape of interconnected ponds and streams. In the western portion of the sheet, Stillwater Res sits near the headwaters of the Beaver River, illustrating the region's managed water resources.

Transportation and historic industry are noted through labels for Carter Station and a large Gravel Pit, pointing toward the rail and infrastructure needs of this mountain interior. From the developed frontage of South Bay to the remote waters of Russian Lake and Pigeon Lake, the survey provides an intricate view of the topography before modern digital mapping, including points of interest for local history like Camp Rondaxe and the various islands of the Fulton Chain Lakes.
