1954 Map of Newcomb

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Harris Lake and the Hudson River anchor this mid-century survey of the central Adirondacks, centered on the settlement of Newcomb. The landscape is defined by its recreation and early timber culture, featuring established retreats like the Tahawus Club and the Northwoods Club, alongside youth camps such as Camp Che-na-wah and Camp Baco. Significant water management is evident at the Goodnow Flowage and Adirondack Flow, while the surrounding summits of Vanderwhacker Mountain and Goodnow Mountain — the latter topped with a Lookout Tower — dominate the horizon. Local history is grounded in the Newcomb Cem and the trail network, including the Wolf Creek Trail and Vanderwhacker Brook Trail, which suggest the area's transition from an industrial logging landscape toward a preserved wilderness within the Adirondack State Park.
