1954 Map of Newcomb

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Newcomb serves as the primary settlement in this mid-century view of the high peaks region, situated along the northern reaches of the Hudson River. The landscape is defined by its extensive water systems, including the Goodnow Flowage and a string of numbered lakes from Third Lake to Eighth Lake. Cultural landmarks like the Tahawus Club and various recreational camps such as Balfour Lake Camp and Camp Baco illustrate the area's development as a seasonal retreat within the Adirondack State Park. The map also traces the Old Military Road, a historical transportation corridor through the interior. Elevation highlights include the Fire Tower atop Goodnow Mountain and the prominent Vanderwhacker Mountain. This era shows the region before major modern highway expansions, where local infrastructure was tightly integrated with the natural topography of ridges like Split Rock Ridge and Hardwood Ridge.
