1964 Map of Meacham Lake

About this map

The East Branch St Regis River carves through this northern stretch of the Adirondack State Park, a landscape defined by an intricate network of wetlands, glacial ponds, and mountain peaks. Centered on the expansive Meacham Lake, the terrain shows a mid-century balance of conservation and recreation, featuring several Campground sites and a Picnic Area along the eastern shore. The settlement at McColloms serves as a lone pocket of development in the south, situated near McColloms Pond and the Osgood River. North of Daniel Mountain, a lonely Mine label suggests past industrial interest in these woods, while the surrounding State Forest Preserve ensures the protection of landmarks like Sugarloaf Mountain and Wolf Pond. The presence of a Gaging Station on the river near the lake indicates the ongoing hydrological management of these vital Adirondack headwaters during the early 1960s.
