About this map

Elizabethtown and the hamlet of New Russia anchor this 1978 survey of the high peaks region. The landscape is defined by the steep elevation of Adirondack Park, featuring prominent summits such as Hurricane Mtn and Giant Mtn. The Boquet River winds through Pleasant Valley, fed by numerous tributaries including The Branch and Roaring Brook.

Tracing the early infrastructure of the county, the map records the Northway cutting through the eastern corridor alongside Lincoln Pond. Local history details are preserved in the locations of the Miller Cem, a high-altitude Lookout Tower, and the dramatic Split Rock Falls. The layout reflects a mid-century balance of mountain recreation and small-town life, noted by the presence of a Golf Course and an Athletic Field near the village center.
