1966 Map of Peasleeville

About this map

The Salmon River and its numerous tributaries cut through a densely forested landscape in the Adirondack region, centering on the small settlement of Peasleeville in the mid-1960s. This survey illustrates the proximity of remote mountain peaks to local social centers like Zion Ch and the Peasleeville Cem. The terrain is characterized by numerous family-named summits, including Larry Ryan Mountain, Nancy Ryan Mountain, and Stewart Mountain, indicating a landscape deeply tied to local lineages and private holdings within the larger Clinton State Forest. Several small bodies of water, such as Mud Pond and Slush Pond, are scattered across the high ground, while the southern edge touches upon the hamlet of North Pole. The network of unimproved roads and fire trails, like Dugway Road, reflects the area's history of logging and state forest management within the Terry Mountain State Forest.
