1953 Map of Paradox Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Ironville and the surrounding Adirondack wilderness define this landscape, where early industrial activity left a permanent mark on the terrain. The 1953 field check documents a region shaped by resource extraction, clearly marking several Iron Mines and the Railroad Mill near Penfield Pond. These features point to the era when the area's magnetite deposits fueled local furnaces, such as those near Furnace Hill. Small settlements like Paradox, Severance, and Chilson anchor the few navigable corridors between the high peaks and numerous bodies of water.
