1958 Map of Bolton Landing

About this map

Lake George dominates this mid-century landscape within the Adirondack State Park, where the rugged topography of the Lake George Range and the Tongue Mountain Range meets the water's edge. The settlement at Bolton Landing serves as a focal point, supported by smaller lakeside hamlets like Silver Bay, Hague, and Huletts Landing on the eastern shore. Away from the main lake, the map reveals a network of interior water bodies such as Brant Lake, Trout Lake, and Sherman Lake, indicating a region defined by its reliance on water-based access and recreation. Local history is evident in landmarks like the Union Chapel near Sabbath Day Point and various cemeteries scattered throughout the township of Bolton. The complex terrain of peaks including Black Mtn, Sleeping Beauty, and Cat Mtn illustrates the limited arable land, which likely shaped the area's development into a major Adirondack destination.
