About this map

Elizabethtown and the nearby hamlet of New Russia are documented here in the late 1970s, situated in the high peaks region of the Adirondack Park. The landscape is dominated by the valley of the Bouquet River and its tributary, The Branch, which intersect near the village center. This area, serving as a county seat, displays established civic infrastructure including the Court House, a Hospital, and the Central School.

Beyond the settled areas, the terrain rises sharply toward landmarks like Hurricane Mtn and Giant Mtn. Significant natural features such as Split Rock Falls and Lincoln Pond are visible alongside specialized industrial and recreation sites like the Elizabethtown No 2 Iron Mtn and a local Golf Course. The presence of the Adirondack Northway cutting through the eastern portion of the sheet illustrates the era's modern transportation network connecting these high mountain communities.
