1954 Map of Blue Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Adirondack Park wilderness dominates this mid-century survey, centered on the prominent Blue Mountain peak and its surrounding lake systems. The mapping reveals a landscape of high-elevation ponds and ridges, where the Northville Lake Placid Trail winds through dense terrain between Lake Durant and the northern reaches of Long Lake. In the southern half, the Cedar River flows through the central valley, passing the Cedar River Golf Course and the Cedar River Cem as it nears the settlement of Indian Lake. This era shows a clear distinction between the established resorts at Blue Mountain Lake and Deerland and the more remote, interior landmarks like Forest House and the numerous lookout towers on summits such as Owls Head Mountain. The presence of a Gaging Station and Sewage Disposal sites near the primary settlements reflects the early modern infrastructure supporting these seasonal mountain communities.
