1973 Map of Eagle Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Ironville and Chilson anchor this mid-1970s landscape within the Adirondack State Park, revealing a region defined by its water-powered history and resource extraction. The presence of a Mine and several Quarries near Railroad Hill and Furnace Mtn points to the industrial heritage of this part of Essex County. The map details a complex network of brooks and ponds, from the northern Sherman Lake and Goosepuddle Pond to the southern reach of Eagle Lake, which features Ore Bed Bay and Crown Point Bay. Extensive forest coverage is broken by the winding Putnam Creek and legacy trails such as the Cubtown Trail. These topographic details illustrate how local settlements followed the narrow valleys and water bodies while the surrounding uplands like Hail Mountain and Skiff Mountain remained largely undeveloped, preserving the character of the late 20th-century Adirondack wilderness.
