About this map

Adirondack State Park and the surrounding State Forest Preserve dominate this mid-century landscape in Franklin County, characterized by a complex network of glacial ponds and mountain peaks. The settlement of Duane Center serves as the primary human landmark, anchored by St Marys Ch and the Ladd Cem. Historically significant water bodies like Lake Titus and Lake Duane are fed by numerous watercourses, including the Salmon River and Deer River, reflecting the drainage patterns of the northern Adirondacks.

Industrial and natural history converge at features like Furnace Mountain and the Gravel Pits along Duane Road. The topography is defined by prominent elevations such as Titusville Mountain and Elephants Head, while the preservation of the land is noted through various divisions like Franklin State Forest No 3. This survey details the era's land use, showing the intersection of conservation boundaries and local infrastructure.
