Smith map of the Adirondack mountains of New York. The map depicts the entire Adirondack Mountain region, extending from the St. Lawrence River and Canada to Groversville and Broadalbin, and from Lewis and St. Lawrence counties to Lake George and Lake Champlain. Created by authority of the Forest, Fish and Game Commission, the boundaries of the Adirondack State Park are defined by a bold blue line. Additional color coding designates the state of various lands. Bright red shading identifies Forest Preserve or State Lands, while red and white striped areas mark lands in which the State has an undivided interest or joint ownership. Town boundaries are noted in pink. County boundaries are illustrated by brown lines. The whole is divided into various land patents, purchases, lots, and townships, many of which are labeled. Both conventional and electric railroads are depicted using two different annotations. An inset in the lower left corner is a county and railroad map of northern New York. The Adirondack Park The Adirondack State Park, part of the New York Forest Preserve, was established in 1892 'for the free use of all for their health and pleasure.' In 1884, a state legislative commission chaired by botanist Charles Sprague Sargent recommended the establishment of an Adirondack Mountain Forest Preserve. The New York State Legislature formally adopted the suggestion one year later designated state-owned lands within certain counties in the Adirondacks and Catskills to be 'forever kept wild.' In 1894, the Adirondack State Park was formally enshrined as an amendment to the New York State Constitution. Unlike most state parks, the Adirondack Park is not a cohesive unity fully owned by the state. Some 52% of the park is privately owned. The park includes more than 100 towns and villages, as well as farms, private homes, and active timbering zones. The complex ownership structure led to unique administrative challenges and the need for comprehensive large scale maps like this one. Publication History and Census Maps published using this title were published as early as 1893. However, those early maps were created by a different cartographer, William Fox. Subsequent updates appeared in 1895, 1898, and 1902. We note that editions created by M.O. Wood began appearing in 1908 with a new edition (the present example) published in 1909. Others may exist. Each was a completely new and revised map, published by different printing houses. The present map was drawn by Millins O. Wood and Glenn Shepard Smith and printed by Matthews-Northrup Works for the Forest, Fish and Game Commission in 1909. Examples are well represented institutionally, but few have made their way into the private market. References: OCLC 5707964.
