About this map

Whiteface Mountain and the Stephenson Range dominate this landscape within the Adirondack Park during the late 1970s. The village of Wilmington serves as a local hub near the West Branch Ausable River, while the specialized community of North Pole sits at the base of the mountain. The mapping captures a network of industrial and recreational history, including the Memorial Highway ascending the peak and various gravel pits scattered near Forestdale.

Evidence of earlier industry remains in the naming of Middle Kilns, East Kilns, and West Kilns, pointing to the region's historical charcoal production. For genealogists, the map identifies local burial grounds such as Goodspeed Cem, Haselton Cem, and Malbone Cem. Water features including Union Falls Pond and Taylor Pond define the lowlands, contrasted by prominent peaks like Catamount Mountain and Esther Mtn.
