Driving back from Albany to Plattsburgh, I often would stop and explore the back roads, including heading into the agricultural lands of northern Adirondacks, like this farm land just outside of Reber.

Historical Route 10 Around Goodman Mountain (1954)

Andy | November 24, 2025

Old NY 10 running on the east side of Goodman Mountain couldn't have been in use very long as it's not seen on the 1907 USGS topographic maps and by the mid-1950s has already been by-passed in favor of the modern western alignment along the lake.
