1979 Map of Saint Regis Mtn

About this map

Adirondack Park serves as the backdrop for this late 1970s survey, centered on the high peaks and sprawling wetlands of the St. Regis area. The settlement of Paul Smiths and the historic Keese Mill anchor the eastern side of the quadrangle, while the water-rich landscape is defined by the interconnected Upper Saint Regis Lake, Spitfire Lake, and Lower Saint Regis Lake. Higher elevations such as Saint Regis Mtn and Jenkins Mountain rise above a dense network of smaller bodies including Saint Regis Pond and Fish Pond. The map illustrates a region managed for conservation and recreation, noted by the Girl Scout Camp and the winding course of the Saint Regis River. Private land boundaries and forestry roads like Blue Mountain Road indicate the modern land-use patterns of this Franklin County wilderness prior to the turn of the century.
