1954 Map of Blue Mountain

About this map

Long Lake and the Raquette River anchor this mid-century look at the central Adirondacks, illustrating a landscape defined by deep-water recreation and public lands. The map details the village of Long Lake and the smaller settlements of Deerland and Sabael, which served as entry points for wilderness travel during a peak era of 20th-century mountain tourism. Numerous camps and public facilities, such as the State Camp near Lake Eaton and the Lake Durant Camp, show the established infrastructure of the Adirondack State Park.
