1953 Map of Mount Marcy

About this map

The Olympic Bobsled Run on the slopes of Mt Van Hoevenburg stands as a notable landmark in this mid-century survey of the High Peaks region. Entirely contained within Adirondack State Park, the landscape is defined by the headwaters of the West Branch Ausable River and the East Branch Ausable River, which flank the central mountain mass. Small settlements like North Elba and Saint Huberts are connected by historic routes, including the Old Military Road and the Van Hoevenberg Trail.
