Four Mile Meadow, 1952 Before the Adirondack Northway

I have a bit of an obsession over Four Mile Meadow for many years now since my college days, which they ran the Adirondack Northway through. So I georeferenced an aerial photo from 1952 of the Four Mile Meadow on the MapWarper.

Four Mile Meadow

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.
