About this map

The Southern Adirondack wilderness meets rural mountain settlements in this late 20th-century survey of the Caroga Bleecker area. Densely packed contour lines define the numerous summits of the Adirondack Park, including Shaker Mtn and Pigeon Mtn, which surround a high concentration of water bodies. The landscape transitions from the protected State Forest Preserve in the north to established communities in the south, centered around the interconnected waters of West Caroga Lake, Caroga Lake, and East Caroga Lake.

Cultural landmarks are concentrated along the valley floors, providing valuable points of reference for local historians. In Wheelerville, the Union Sch and a local Golf Course sit near the edge of the wilderness, while the eastern portion of the map shows the settlement at Bleecker Center. Genealogists will find interest in several religious and burial sites, such as St Barbara Chapel, St Josephs Cem, and St Johns Cem, alongside the remote Mohawk Pathway Camp and several named roads like London Rd.
