1955 Map of Elizabethtown

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Elizabethtown serves as a focal point within the high peaks and river valleys of the eastern Adirondacks during the mid-1950s. The landscape is defined by the steep relief of the High Peaks region, including prominent summits like Hurricane Mtn and Giant Mtn, which drop sharply into Pleasant Valley. The economy of the era is clearly visible through the industrial activity in the eastern sector, where the iron industry shaped the development of Mineville and Witherbee. An Iron Mine and several substations underscore the area's extraction history, while numerous small cemeteries such as St Peter and Paul Cem and Black River Cem provide vital records for genealogical research. The Bouquet River and Schroon River systems anchor the drainage patterns, connecting smaller settlements like New Russia and Euba Mills through a network of valley roads and mountain passes.
