1953 Map of Paradox Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Ironville and Paradox anchor this mid-century portrait of the Adirondack landscape, where local industry and wilderness coexist. The presence of Inactive Mines near Penfield Pond speaks to the region's historic mining operations, while small settlements like North Hudson and Chilson reflect a post-war era of mountain life. The map meticulously documents a complex water network, from the narrow reaches of Black Brook to the broad expanse of Sherman Lake, alongside cultural landmarks such as St Nicholas Chapel.
