Overview
The series consists of maps produced by the Adirondack Park Agency
for the Adirondack Park Land Use and Development Plan of 1973. Maps
are included for Clinton, Franklin, Fulton, Hamilton, Herkimer, Lewis,
Oneida, St. Lawrence, Saratoga, Warren, and Washington counties. The
maps consist of a printed base map of each county (sometimes done
in sections) prepared by the Office of Planning Services, with an
attached plastic film overlay in colors representing the various land
use classifications. Base maps are dated from May 1967 to July 1968.
They car a title (county name/section), ruled scale (one inch to one
mile, and some with an additional metric scale in kilometer elevation
(in feet), and degrees of latitude and longitude. Statements on each
tell whether they are based on the New York Coordinate System and/or
the Universal Transverse Mercator System.
The plastic film overlays are done in six colors representing the
various land use areas, as follows: hamlet areas brown); moderate
intensity use areas (red); low intensity use areas (orange); rural
use areas (yellow); resource management areas (green); and industrial
use areas (purple). Additionally, diagonal lines appear to represent
wilderness areas, and horizontal lines represent “primitive areas."
Dotted areas are also shown, but their significance is unknown. State
borders are marked in blue. The map of Washington County is missing
its overlay.
Maps range in size from 95 x 94 cm to 149 x 104 cm. Each map has a
typed slip attached to it identifying it as a “certified copy of
the official Adirondack Park Land Use and Development Plan Map."
They are stamped as filed with the Department of State, Secretary
of State, 1973, and also contain notices of amendment. A statement
als appears that small islands less than 10 acres are not shown on
the map (these are located in the green classification areas).
Information on the text portion of the plan, its character descriptions,
definitions, purposes, guidelines for development, and classification
of compatible land uses can be found in the agency's plan (August
1973), available at the New York State Library.
Biographical Sketch
Chapter 706 of the Laws of 1971 created the Adirondack Park Agency
to ensure preservation of t Adirondack wilderness area that had been
designated as the Adirondack Park in 1892. In consultation with local
governments, the agency was charged to prepare and submit the plan
to the legislature for approval and modification on or before January
1, 1973. The plan would apply to the entire area of the Adirondack
Park, except for state owned land, and was to be submitted together
with the recommendations of the agency for its implementation. The
plan divides land into areas and estimates the intensity of land use
(its type, character, and extent) and the development permissible
within each area. The plan was approved on March 3, 1973; a certified
copy was filed with the Secretary of State and facsimiles were filed
with the clerk of each county and local government wholly or partially
within t Adirondack Park.
