Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. New York States Adirondack region is as ancient as is it immense over six million acres of wild forests, lakes, rivers, and mountains. Mapping the Adirondacks celebrates the overwhelming nature of this landscape by following two early visitors who became totally obsessed by the region. This…is the first book to focus solely on Verplanck Colvin and Mills Blakes original survey of the Adirondack Region, a monumental project that would help define and protect the land for generations to come. It was an 18-year-old explorer and travel writer named Verplanck Colvin who, in 1865, began personally mapping a half million acres of true Adirondack wilderness. Then, in 1872, right after the State legislature gave a slight nod to the project, Colvin dubbed himself Superintendent of the Adirondack Survey and hired an equally intrepid surveyor to helphis ever-dependable and longtime friend Mills Blake. Together they extended the scope and granularity of their survey, hired hundreds of Adirondack guides and other talented people to assist them, and devoted the next 28 years to the meticulous work of mapping the Adirondacks. Beginning with chapters on early surveying terms and principles, then following Colvin and Blakes progress along fourteen popular Adirondack peaks, with harrowing stories of the many successes and failures of the project along the way, author Thatcher Hogan has created the definitive account of one of the greatest public work projects in American history. Featuring commentary alongside Colvins own often-dense reports, primary source journals, maps, and benchmarks along with supporting research, original maps, historical photos, and summit view charts Hogan uncovers a story of genius innovation, intense ambition, physical hardships, and a weatherproof friendship. The States investment in the survey would pay off many times over. Colvin and Blakes surveys documented thousands of benchmarks and provided the State with the incontrovertible evidence needed to prevail in hundreds of complex Adirondack land disputes. Most significantly, it enabled the State to consolidate and expand its extraordinary Adirondack Forest Preservesthe prized mountains, forests, and waters of todays beloved Adirondack Park. Featuring more than a hundred maps and illustrations, Mapping the Adirondacks is the first book to focus solely onVerplanck Colvin's original survey of the Adirondack Region, a monumental project that would help define and protect the land for generations to come. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - New York State's famous Adirondack landscape is immense, spanning over six million acres of public forests, lakes, rivers, mountains, and private lands. In full color featuring hundreds of detailed maps and photos, Mapping the Adirondacks celebrates it all with the first clear account of the origi…nal surveyor who explored and fully comprehended itVerplanck Colvin. "Everywhere below," Colvin wrote, "were lakes and mountains so different from all maps, yet so immovably true."His monumental accomplishment helped motivate the citizens of New York in 1894 to legally protect it for generations to come. As an eighteen-year-old budding travel writer, explorer and surveyor, Colvin began personally mapping a half-million acres of true Adirondack wilderness in 1865. Then, shortly after the state began partially funding his audacious project, Colvin reinvented himself as the "Superintendent' of a "Survey of the Adirondack Wilderness" and hired another equally intrepid surveyor to helphis ever-dependable friend Mills Blake. They extended the scope and granularity of their survey several times, hired hundreds of Adirondack guides and other talented people to assist, and devoted twenty-eight years to the challenge of professionally surveying the Adirondacks. Author Thatcher Hogan has carefully gleaned narratives and illustrations from Colvin's notoriously dense annual reports and reassembled them with additional historic photographs to chronicle a compelling, true story of rugged exploration. After a novice's explanation of Colvin and Blake's surveying terms, the book follows their progress with one hundred of Hogan's new maps and summit views. The Adirondack landscape remains formidable and fascinatingmany of the views are those that Colvin first discovered. Along the way, Hogan uncovers a story of intense ambition, physical hardships, and a weatherproof friendship. The state's meager investment in their work paid off many times over. Colvin and Blake's surveys provided New York with the incontrovertible evidence needed to prevail in hundreds of complex Adirondack land disputes. Most significantly, it enabled the state to consolidate and expand its extraordinary Adirondack Forest Preservesthe prized mountains, forests, and waters of today's beloved Park.
