1953 Map of Santanoni

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Tahawus and the industrial activity near the Old MacIntyre Furnace anchor the southern portion of this mid-century survey, illustrating the persistence of mining and early iron production in the Adirondacks. The presence of a Strip Mine and the Delaware And Hudson rail line near Sanford Hill highlights the era's extraction economy, contrasting with the wilderness to the north. Trekkers and historians can trace the Northville Placid Trail as it winds through the Santanoni Mountains and past the Big Eddy on the Cold River. The map also captures several high peaks and geological landmarks, including the sheer walls of Indian Pass and the Lookout Tower atop Mount Adams. From the settlement of Averyville in the north to the remote Duck Hole, the landscape is a complex network of glacial ponds, mountain ranges, and historic timber and mining outposts.
