About this map

Jericho and the surrounding Adirondack foothills are captured here in the mid-1960s, showing a landscape defined by state forestry and small, scattered settlements. To the north, Miner Lake State Park surrounds Miner Lake where the Chazy River flows toward the northeast. The map provides a detailed look at the local road network, including historic thoroughfares like Old Military Road and the Old Turnpike Road, which connect the small clusters of Alder Bend and Jerusalem.

Religious and industrial sites such as St Alexis Ch and Purdys Mill mark the rural social hubs of the era. The terrain transitions from the heights of Dannemora Mountain in the southwest toward the extensive tracts of the Clinton State Forest. Notable drainage systems including Stillwater Brook and Brandy Brook cut through the timbered slopes, while unique local names like the Dead Sea add character to the high-country hydrology.
