About this map

Lows Lake dominates the central landscape of this interior wilderness survey, where the Bog River and various water bodies flow through the Adirondack State Park. This high-altitude terrain is characterized by a dense network of glacial ponds, including Simmons Pond, Olmstead Pond, and Grass Pond. Evidence of early resource management and recreation is visible at the Partlow Milldam and the Lookout Tower atop Cat Mtn.

The industrial and transit history of the region is anchored by the Penn Central railroad corridor, which skirts Clear Pond and the station at Robinwood. Significant landmarks like Nehasane and its accompanying Boat Ramp on Lake Lila suggest the area's legacy of private estates and early conservation. The map also meticulously records the intersection of St Lawrence, Hamilton, and Herkimer county lines deep within the State Forest Preserve.
