Four Mile Meadow, 1952 Before the Adirondack Northway

|

I have a bit of an obsession over Four Mile Meadow for many years now since my college days, which they ran the Adirondack Northway through. So I georeferenced an aerial photo from 1952 of the Four Mile Meadow on the MapWarper.

Ever since college I've been fascinated by the section of the Adirondack Northway that goes through a valley known as the Four Mile Meadow by Lincoln Pond, as seen on the 1953 Elizabethtown topographic map. While little signs of the Meadow exist anymore, I wonder if it was a natural meadow or due to logging. This section of the Northway really cut through the wilderness when it was built.
