1953 Map of Paradox Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Paradox Lake anchors this mid-century topographic survey of the Adirondack foothills, where a network of waterways including the Schroon River and Sucker Hole Creek defined the local settlement patterns. Small communities like Ironville and Chilson are shown alongside vestiges of the region's industrial past, notably at Railroad Hill and the Inactive Mines near Furnace Mtn. The terrain is characterized by a dense concentration of named peaks and ridges, such as Skiff Mountain and Nippletop Mountain, many of which were likely critical for fire observation as evidenced by the Lookout Tower on Pharaoh Mountain.
