May be used as a historical reference of land use and major landscape disturbances in the Adirondack Park. Such known and documented disturbances include a series of major forest fires that occurred at the turn of the 19th Century. The hardcopy color map from which this digital data set was created is printed on paper adhered to a cloth/linen backing and attached on the top and bottom to long wooden sticks. The different land codes are color-coded and described in the legend. Digital data was developed for the area defined by the Oswegatchie/Black River watershed by SUNY Plattsburgh under contract with the Adirondack Park Agency (APA.)
