1958 Map of Bolton Landing

About this map

The shoreline of Lake George serves as the focal point for this mid-century survey of the eastern Adirondacks. From the established resorts at Bolton Landing and the Sagamore to the quiet lakeside hamlets of Hague and Silver Bay, the map documents a landscape defined by seasonal recreation and deep wilderness. The terrain is marked by steep peaks like Buck Mtn and Cat Mtn, where the Swede Mtn Lookout Tower once monitored the surrounding forests. Local navigation relied on prominent landmarks such as Sabbathday Point and Huletts Landing on the eastern shore in Dresden. Inland, the map reveals smaller upland settlements and clusters like Hogtown and Bartonville near the shores of Brant Lake, illustrating how the region's geography dictated the placement of small mountain communities and family-named landmarks during this post-war era of New York history.
