Studying the old fire maps - it does look like the section between the Truck trail and Mud pond are old growth. I believe you can see a good portion of it just from the trail - Kudish pointed out some directly from the Truck trail and the pics are in the presentation above. It looks like the esker did not burn - this whole area, including most of St. Regis mountain was burned over. It looks like the marsh around Mud pond stopped the fire from spreading up the esker. On the west side, I'm not sure what stopped the fire there, but it nearly engulfed the entire shoreline of Fish pond. It looks like the south shore of Fish Pond where the lean-to is may be old growth. At minimum, it was not burned.
