About this map

Adirondack Park forms the dramatic backdrop for this mid-1940s survey of the southern highlands, where the border of Hamilton and Fulton counties bisects a landscape defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and high peaks. The settlement of Canada Lake serves as a central hub, flanked by West Lake and the smaller Green Lake. To the north, the isolated cluster of Stoner Lakes sits beneath Rooster Hill and Little Roundtop Mountain, while the northernmost settlement of Arietta marks the passage toward higher ground.

A system of drainage and minor industry is visible through labels like Whites Millpond and Aqueduct Creek. The rugged interior is punctuated by numerous remote water bodies, including the aptly named Good Luck Lake and Nine Corner Lake, which are shadowed by substantial summits like Good Luck Mountain and Sheeley Mountain. This map documents a period before significant modern expansion, preserving the footprint of local landmarks such as Point Breeze and Stewart Landing during the post-war era.
