1954 Map of Newcomb

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Newcomb serves as the central hub of this mid-century survey, situated between the expansive Rich Lake and Harris Lake. The map documents a landscape dominated by the high peaks and water systems of the Adirondack State Park, where the Hudson River and Goodnow River carve through complex topography. Notable for its recreation and conservation history, the sheet identifies specific enclaves like the Tahawus Club and the Northwoods Club Pond, alongside the prominent Lookout Tower atop Goodnow Mountain. Beyond the main settlement, the remote outposts of Aiden Lair and the Newcomb Cem provide vital reference points for local history. The presence of numerous named lakes, from the numbered Third Lake through Eighth Lake to secluded basins like Mink Pond, illustrates a late-frontier wilderness being managed for both resource protection and seasonal residency.
