1966 Map of Putnam Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

Putnam Mountain dominates this mid-1960s landscape, where the southern reaches of the Adirondack State Park meet the agricultural valleys of Washington County. The transition from high timber to valley floor is marked by significant hydrological features, including the cascading Buttermilk Falls and a series of mountain-fed basins like Hadlock Pond and Lake Nebo. The map documents a period when local industry and rural life were closely linked, evident in the remnants of the Iron Furnace near Mount Hope and several active gravel pits. Small settlements like West Fort Ann and Pattens Mills serve as local hubs, while the landscape is dotted with family-named landmarks and old burial sites such as Sheldon Cem and Orcutt Cem. The winding paths of Bishop Road and Buttermilk Falls Road trace the difficult topography of the northern Adirondack foothills.
