Hide Profile

Although surveys were made when the reservoir system was created by the Department of Public Works to serve the state canal system (early 19th through 20th century), the boundary lines of state property were not clearly defined, especially in the Adirondack region. In the early 1990s the Thruway Authority was mandated to conduct a comprehensive survey to clearly establish the state's property lines. The maps in this series are the result of the research portion of that survey. The survey was completed in 1997.

From the description of Survey maps of the Northern and Southern Reservoir Systems, 1854-1974. (New York State Archives). WorldCat record id: 80379969
