1954 Map of Thirteenth Lake

About this map

Bakers Mills and Oregon anchor the southeastern portion of this mid-century Adirondack study, where the industrial history of Warren County is clearly visible through numerous mineral operations. The local garnet industry is prominently marked by the Barton Mine and Garnet Mine, alongside a large Open Pit Mine and associated Tailings. This landscape is defined by the massive rise of Gore Mtn, featuring a Lookout Tower, and Eleventh Mountain. Drainage patterns of the Sacandaga River and Hudson River define the valley corridors, while the high country is dotted with remote waters like Siamese Ponds, Thirteenth Lake, and Chatiemac Lake. The Delaware and Hudson railroad cuts through the northeastern corner near North River, tracing the river's path through the deep mountain terrain. Small community details, such as District Sch No 7, provide a look at the social infrastructure of these high-elevation settlements during the 1950s.
