{"product_id":"26-ny-forest-fish-game-commission","title":"U.S. Geological Survey- Hamilton County, New York","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExplore the rugged heart of the Adirondacks with this original 1900 U.S. Geological Survey map of Township 40, part of the historic Totten \u0026amp; Crossfield Purchase in Hamilton County, New York. Centered on Long Lake and Raquette Lake, this beautifully detailed chart captures the glacial lakes, forested mountains, and scattered settlements of one of the most remote and pristine regions in the state. With its distinctive diagonal framing and bold contour shading, it’s as visually compelling as it is cartographically precise. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis map was produced during a key moment in New York’s conservation history, as state and federal agencies sought to document and protect lands within the Adirondack Park, then a relatively new concept. The color-coded legend designates state reserves, watersheds, burnt areas, private holdings, and swamp land, offering insight into early 20th-century land use and environmental priorities. You'll spot names like Bluff Point, Forked Lake, South Bay, and Beaver Bay, as well as railroads, trails, and elevation contours, each meticulously rendered. Drawn under the direction of H.S. Redfield and printed by James B. Lyon, New York State Printer, this original piece offers a rare glimpse into the topography, geology, and human footprint of turn-of-the-century Adirondack wilderness. A perfect addition for collectors of antique maps, historians of upstate New York, or anyone who has paddled the waters of Long Lake and dreamed of its past.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-label=\"Size\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.0\" x 8.0\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-label=\"Condition\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good, Age-appropriate wear.
