The Adirondack Atlas: A Geographic Portrait of the Adirondack Park

With its detailed coverage of a broad array of subjects, this ambitious project of the Wildlife Conservation Society will interest all who know the Adirondack Park. The atlas is made up of entries that contain meticulously drawn thematic maps that provide a detailed visual aid to the accompanying text. The subjects covered in this manner include the environments of the park; its animals and plants; the history of wars, settlement, and industry; forest change; vital statistics, schools and colleges, changing towns; outdoor recreation; and pollution and wastes.
