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.
