1957 Map of Number Four

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Adirondack State Park dominates this landscape, showing the dense network of interior waterways and mountain peaks across the Lewis and Herkimer county line in the mid-1950s. The hydro-electric and logging potential of the region is evident in the managed flow of the Beaver River, which feeds into the Stillwater Reservoir and the Soft Maple Reservoir. Distinctive topographic landmarks such as The Hogs Back and Stillwater Mtn—which features a Lookout Tower—rise above a complex system of ponds and glacial features. Small settlements and industrial points like Eagle Falls and the dramatic drop at Moshier Falls indicate the era's focus on water power. The map also detail primitive transportation routes like Branch Road and Lizard Road, providing a clear view of the wilderness access points used by sportsmen and timber workers before more modern developments altered the park's interior access.
