1955 Map of Glens Falls

About this map

Glens Falls and Hudson Falls anchor this mid-century survey, showing the industrial and residential concentration along the Hudson River just before the expansion of the modern interstate era. The map documents a landscape of transition where the dense urban centers of South Glens Falls and Fort Edward give way to the burgeoning tourism of the southern Lake George basin. Historical sites such as Fort William Henry and the Fort Gage Ruins sit alongside mid-century developments like the Top of World Golf Course and Lake George Beach State Park.
