About this map

The East Branch St Regis River winds through the heart of the northern Adirondacks, anchoring a landscape defined by its complex hydrology and early recreation. This mid-century survey reveals the established presence of Meacham Lake and its surrounding State Forest Preserve, where several public campgrounds and a Picnic Area are shown. The small settlement of McColloms sits at the southern end of the sheet near McColloms Pond, a site historically noted for its traveler's inn.

Industry and preservation coexist in this terrain, with a noted Mine located north of Mud Hill and a Gaging Station monitoring the river's flow. The map documents numerous smaller water bodies like Lake Florence, Buck Pond, and Rice Lake tucked between significant elevations such as Star Mountain and the Twin Mountains. Local movement is largely concentrated along Dugway Road and Meacham Road, providing access to the extensive mountain and lake systems.
