About this map

Paul Smiths College and the lakeside community of Saranac Inn anchor this mid-century survey of the northern Adirondacks. The map captures a landscape defined by its waters, from the headwaters of the Saint Regis River to the complex shorelines of Upper Saint Regis Lake and Middle Saranac Lake. Historically significant infrastructure is evident in the New York Central Railroad corridor and the State Fish Hatchery near Saranac Inn Sta.

Remote settlements such as Derrick and Kildare sit near the western edge, connected by rails and the winding Fire Truck Trail. The topography reveals high points like Buck Mtn and East Pond Mtn, while local history is preserved in the location of School No 1 and the Keese Mill site. Numerous public campsites, including those at Fish Creek and Rolling Pond, reflect the mid-century development of the Adirondack State Park for recreation.
