About this map

Adirondack State Park forms the expansive backdrop for this late 1960s study of Warren County, where the upper Hudson River carves the northeast boundary through the town of Chester. The landscape is dominated by significant elevations such as Crane Mountain and Mill Mtn, with the settlement of Johnsburg situated at a crossroads near Mill Creek. A network of unpaved and improved roads, including Street Road and Goodman Road, provides access to the high-elevation terrain and small water bodies like Garnet Lake and Snowshoe Pond.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several rural burial sites, notably the Bates Cem and Johnsburg Cem, reflecting the early settlement patterns of Thurman and its surroundings. The presence of a Gravel Pit near Johnsburg indicates localized industry, while numerous brooks like Painted Brook and Patterson Brook trace the drainage patterns through the numerous named ridges and mountains that define this Adirondack interior.
