1 Glacial Moraine Bogs 



About two miles north of Steamburg, near the southern 

 edge of the terminal moraine deposits are to be found the 

 only acid bogs and inclosed ponds typical of much of the 

 glaciated region across New York State. The bog and 

 pond near Steamburg are the nearest to the park area and 

 are the only ones considered in this survey, although they 

 lie outside the park region proper. The pond is known as 

 Red pond, and the bog, perhaps a couple of acres in 

 extent, we have designated as Keith's bog, from the name 

 of the present owner of the farm upon which it is situated.
