1897 Map of Paradox Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1925

About this map

Hammondville stands as a primary inland hub on this Adirondack survey, situated near the headwaters of Paradox brook. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of narrow lakes and sharp peaks, where the Lake Paradox waters flow westward to meet the Schroon River at Severance. The presence of an AND H. R. R. Abandoned line winding toward Trouville and Sherman Corners points to the early industrial cycles of the late nineteenth century, likely tied to local mining or timber interests. To the south, the settlement of Graphite and the cluster of ponds surrounding Pharaoh Mt. reveal a terrain heavily shaped by glaciated valleys. Local history researchers can trace old mountain roads and paths connecting North Hudson and Schroon Falls to isolated highland ponds like Bass Lake and Hatch Pond.
