1969 Map of Five Ponds

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Adirondack State Park dominates this landscape, showing the dense network of water bodies and primitive landmarks within the State Forest Preserve during the late 1960s. The northern reaches are defined by the winding Oswegatchie River, punctuated by Griffin Rapids and High Rock. The geography is remarkably fluid, centering on the Big Five Ponds and Little Five Ponds, which are surrounded by smaller basins like Big Shallow and the Washbowl. This survey predates significant modern development, preserving the wilderness character of the St Lawrence and Herkimer county line. Notable for local history and recreation, the map details established backcountry points such as Janacks Landing on Dead Creek Flow and the open terrain of The Plains near Boiling Spring. It provides a clear record of the area's natural drainage, including Sliding Falls and the isolated Muir Pond.
