1955 Map of Elizabethtown

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Elizabethtown and the surrounding high peaks are documented here in the mid-1950s, revealing a landscape defined by deep river valleys and industrial iron centers. The Bouquet River winds through Pleasant Valley, serving as the primary corridor for settlements like New Russia and Euba Mills. To the east, the intensive mining history of the region is evident at the Fisher Hill Iron Mine and the adjacent company-town clusters of Mineville and Witherbee. The terrain is marked by massive granite heights such as Giant Mtn and Hurricane Mtn, while local history is anchored by sites like Miller Cem and the Belfry Mtn Lookout Tower. This survey preserves the spatial relationship between the Adirondack wilderness and the extraction industries that shaped these Essex County communities.
