- Abstract
- The Adirondack State Forest Acquisition Map contains the old growth timber areas of the Adirondack Park, New York State.
- Purpose
- The data was created for the Adirondack Park Agency (APA) as an historical reference. This resource may be used to determine approximate areas of old timber growth in the Adirondack Park.
- Supplemental Information
- The original data was collected by B. McMartin, who compiled a map of lands acquired by the State in the Adirondack Park. This information was based upon various sources, including a 1920 series of publications by the NYSDEC. Field checking by McMartin and others was also performed. The original map was a 1:250,000+ scale Great Lot map, color coded with five category types. Using a light table, this information was later transferred to a 1:250,000 scale NYSDOT base map. The areas were color-coded using four categories outlined on the McMartin map. Digital data was developed by for the area defined by the Oswegatchie/Black River watershed in by State University of New York (SUNY) Plattsburgh under contract to the APA. Although the OB digital data created by SUNY was not incorporated into this coverage, the same attribute scheme was used. Please refer to McMartin, B. 1994. The great forest of the Adirondacks, North Country Books, Utica, NY (ISBN: 0925168297) and New York State Department of Environmental Conservation 1920, State of New York list of lands in the forest preserve. Appendix to 1919 annual report. J.B. Lyon Co., Albany, New York.
